Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €5,625 asking price is exceptionally low, but the listing gives almost no information about condition, bathrooms, habitability, or renovation needs. Assuming substantial renovation, the estimated all-in cost is about €790/m², above the local reference of €630/m², so this is not yet a convincing deal.
More on the house and the area
This is an exceptionally cheap 63 m² apartment, but the photos do not show a particularly beautiful setting or memorable architectural character. Parts appear renovated and usable, yet the dark, deteriorated bedroom suggests substantial refresh work and the overall condition is unclear.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 gallery is highly inconsistent: one bedroom appears severely neglected, while other images show a modernized corridor and bathroom.
- No kitchen is visible, and the listing records zero bathrooms despite showing a bathroom photo.
- Urban apartment setting with no notable view, garden, or distinctive historic character.
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 49/100The cluster is in the foothill belt west of Vicenza, with the Lessini mountains rising to the south-west and west within the local horizon. The Chiampo valley runs through this area, with mixed industry, housing and farmed slopes around the valley floor. The nearest larger city is Vicenza, which has a substantial historic centre, rail connections and city services. Verona is also part of daily life from here for work and transport. This part of western Veneto is known for tanning and manufacturing rather than for a protected landscape or a major named natural site within the immediate area.
