At €40,000 (€412/m²), the asking price is essentially in line with comparable Veneto townhouses at about €406/m²; assuming substantial renovation because the listing does not state the condition, the effective cost rises to roughly €1,112/m². The description is extremely vague and provides no information on rooms, bathrooms, habitability, or systems.
More on the house and the area
This is a compact, single-level home with a decent garden and an intact traditional tiled roof, but it has little standout character or view. The actual photos show a clearly dated and neglected property needing substantial refurbishment, while the lack of interior images makes it impossible to confirm whether it is currently usable as a home.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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 house appears neglected, with peeling render, deteriorated awnings, overgrown grounds and a worn rear annex.
- No interior photos are provided, and the listing shows zero bathrooms and no bedroom count, so basic livability is unverified.
- The roof is intact but visibly aged; drainage, damp, utilities and structural condition should be checked.
- It is directly on a paved residential road with neighboring homes, not a secluded countryside 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 38/100This is the southern Veneto plain between the Adige and Bacchiglione systems, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered villages. The nearest town of size is Monselice, which has a walled hill, a castle complex and a substantial historic centre; Rovigo and Padova are the larger service cities used for work, schools and hospitals. The wider area is known for irrigated farming on the reclaimed low plain.
