Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,300/m², the €78,000 asking price is well above the local sub-€100k norm of about €630/m²; allowing roughly €12,000 for light updating makes the effective cost even higher. A central location, terrace, lift and garage support the price, but the listing does not state the interior condition or building year.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, clearly usable apartment with a fitted kitchen, functioning bathroom, heating, air conditioning, garage, and a long covered terrace. It is pleasant and move-in ready, but the interiors are ordinary and the photos show no standout view, historic detail, or exceptional setting.
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.
- No distinctive historic character or scenic view is shown.
- Energy class F suggests relatively high running costs.
- Compact one-bedroom layout, with the terrace appearing more like a covered balcony than private outdoor land.
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 39/100The area is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land cut by canals and drainage works. The Adige runs just north of Rovigo and the Po is to the south, shaping the wider Polesine landscape. The Po Delta Regional Park begins farther east, outside the immediate surroundings, and the Adriatic coast is also farther away. Rovigo is the nearest town of size, with a compact historic centre, arcaded streets, piazzas, and the two surviving medieval towers of its former castle. The area is known for reclaimed lowland, farming, and the river landscape of the Polesine.
