See what needs doing and what each job costs
This €30,750 townhouse is explicitly sold through an enforcement proceeding, making it a judicial auction rather than a standard purchase. The listing describes 145 m² and a garage, but does not state the condition, energy class, or complete bathroom details.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional townhouse with a charming balcony, decorative cornice and an unusually low price for 145 sqm, plus a garage and terrace mentioned in the description. However, the exterior is tired and visibly deteriorating, with no interior photos to prove that it is currently livable; the busy roadside setting also limits the dream-home appeal.
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€29,000 – €51,000
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.
- The gallery shows only the exterior, so the actual interior condition and bathroom usability are unverified.
- Visible facade deterioration, exposed brickwork and aging shutters suggest substantial renovation.
- The house fronts a busy commercial road and is being sold through an enforcement procedure.
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 70/100Flat Po Valley / Paduan plain: mostly agricultural land with built-up suburbs and light industrial areas around Padua. The Bacchiglione river runs through the Padua area and is within the local landscape. The Colli Euganei (Euganean Hills) and the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei begin to the south/southwest, within roughly 15 km; the hills are a volcanic relief with local wine production (Colli Euganei DOC). The thermal spa towns of Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme lie on the southern edge of the Euganean Hills and are within the same radius. Padua (Padova) is the nearest city of size (about 8–10 km): it has a university, the Scrovegni Chapel (Giotto frescoes), a major railway station, hospitals and full services. Major transport links and motorways serving the area are reached via Padua (rail connections and the A4/A13 corridors). No significant mountains or ski lifts are within the immediate 15 km radius.
