At €425/m², the €61,256 asking price becomes roughly €625/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home, essentially in line with comparable Veneto stock at €630/m². The 29 photos are reassuring, but the description is extremely sparse and gives no bathroom or energy details.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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 37/100The area is the lower Piave plain between the Sile and Piave river systems, with flat agricultural land, canals and scattered settlements. The Adriatic coast around Jesolo and Eraclea is roughly 15 km away at the edge of the radius, but the immediate landscape around Meolo is inland plain rather than coast. San Donà di Piave is the nearest larger town, with the usual services, shops and rail connections, and Mestre-Venice is farther west for major urban services. This part of eastern Veneto is known for intensive farming and for Prosecco DOC wines produced on the plain.
