Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €74,000 asking price equals €1,233/m², well above the €567/m² local comparison level; allowing roughly €200/m² for updating, the effective cost is about €1,433/m². The independent home has a 140 m² garden, garage, cellar and certified systems, but the listing does not state its overall condition and the 2003 boiler may require attention.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable independent townhouse with a sunny enclosed garden, garage and cellar, plus a pleasing exposed-brick dining wall and practical interiors. It is comfortable rather than spectacular: the setting is ordinary and the finishes are dated, but the price and usable condition make it a credible low-cost Italian home.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 is clearly usable but the finishes, kitchen and bathrooms are dated.
- The boiler dates from 2003 and should be checked despite the stated certified systems.
- Only one bathroom is shown for three bedrooms; confirm the condition of the garage, cellar and utilities.
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 52/100This is the eastern Po plain, with flat agricultural land cut by drainage canals and embankments. The Po di Volano runs through this part of the province, and the lower Po delta lies nearby, with wetlands and lagoon landscapes toward Comacchio. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status as part of Ferrara, City of the Renaissance, and its Po Delta. The area is known for reclaimed farmland, waterways, and Delta produce such as rice and eel around Comacchio.
