At €586/m², this is already about 44% above the local €407/m² benchmark; allowing for an unspecified condition and roughly €700/m² of potential renovation makes the effective value substantially weaker. The brief description does not say whether the house is habitable, renovated, or needs work.
More on the house and the area
A substantial detached home with a pleasant landscaped garden, covered porch, balconies, and open agricultural surroundings. The exterior looks solid and occupied rather than derelict, but it is visually conventional and the absence of interiors makes its true condition and readiness to live in uncertain.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €45,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- No interior photos, so the kitchen, bathrooms, utilities, and actual livability cannot be verified.
- The house appears maintained but dated, with possible cosmetic or systems upgrades needed.
- Flat rural location is attractive but lacks a dramatic sea, mountain, or historic setting.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 40/100This is the flat lower Veneto plain between Padova and the south lagoon, with a network of drainage canals and cultivated fields. The Bacchiglione system and the Brenta channels shape the wider area, and the Venetian Lagoon fringe is not far to the east but is outside the immediate landscape here. Padova is the nearest city of size, with a major historic center, university, hospitals and rail connections. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for being part of the mainland belt tied to Padova and Venice.
