What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,961/m², the €100,000 asking price is well above the €717/m² local comparison level; allowing about €200/m² for its partially renovated condition brings the effective cost to roughly €2,161/m². The central Palmanova location, garage, double glazing and heating upgrades add appeal, but the price leaves little margin for an investor.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€3,000 – €6,000
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.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Bassa Friulana plain between the lower Isonzo basin and the lagoon hinterland. Palmanova is the nearest substantial town, with the preserved Venetian star-fort plan and UNESCO status. Aquileia is also nearby, with the Roman archaeological area and basilica complex, both UNESCO-listed. Grado and the northern Adriatic lagoon are within the wider local area, and the zone is known for friulano farmland, small historic centres, and wines of the Collio and Isonzo areas farther north and east.
