Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 (€1,267/m²), the furnished, apparently habitable apartment has an estimated effective cost of about €1,467/m² after allowing €15,000 for ordinary updates. That is more than twice the €630/m² local comparison level; the independent entrance, garage, terrace, and recently installed condensing boiler add value but do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A bright, fully furnished and clearly livable apartment with a modern kitchen, comfortable rooms, independent entrance, garage, and a genuinely appealing covered terrace overlooking open fields. The orange exterior and outdoor space give it strong visual appeal, while the main limitation is that the charm is contemporary and practical rather than historic or spectacular.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs.
- The attic/storage areas are unfinished or non-habitable, and one room is currently used mainly for storage.
- The setting is pleasant and rural but lacks historic character or a dramatic mountain/sea backdrop.
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 35/100The area lies in the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the Po River system. The Po runs nearby and shapes the landscape more than any hill or mountain feature. Ferrara is the nearest larger city, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for arable farming and river plain settlements.
