The €55,000 asking price is €585/m², already above the local €377/m² benchmark, while only one of the two units is habitable and the other is in advanced shell condition. Allowing roughly €700/m² for the unfinished portion brings the estimated effective cost to about €1,285/m²; the listing does not say whether the second unit can legally become residential space.
More on the house and the area
A practical, sunny country home with a generous garden and an appealing green outlook toward the Volano river/waterway. The main unit is clearly a real, heated and usable house with finished floors, windows and livable rooms, while the attached second unit remains an unfinished project.
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€18,000 – €33,000
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 main dwelling appears solid and usable, but the attached second unit is only at an advanced unfinished-shell stage.
- Interiors are dated and the listing shows only one bathroom.
- The river-edge green area appears attractive, but part of the outdoor land is detached from the house.
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 41/100This is the lower Po plain around the Po di Volano and the drainage-canal landscape east of Ferrara, with flat farmland, embankments and scattered reclaimed land settlements. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status linked to the Renaissance city and the Po Delta. The Po Delta Regional Park lies partly within this radius toward the east, with wetlands, pinewoods and lagoons in the delta area. The area is known for irrigated agriculture and land reclamation.
