What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €39,000 asking price is very low at €113/m², but renovating 345 m² at an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €813/m²—roughly double the local comparison level of €409/m². The listing confirms major renovation needs but does not state the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional Veneto townhouse with shutters, a small planted frontage, balcony, garage and cellar, offered at an unusually low price for its size. The interiors are furnished and clearly usable rather than an empty shell, but they are dated and the exterior needs repair, so this is a practical renovation opportunity rather than a polished dream home.
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€68,000 – €121,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The property visibly needs renovation, including peeling exterior finishes and dated interiors.
- Bathroom provision is unclear in the facts and should be verified.
- The large 345 sqm size may mean substantial ongoing maintenance and renovation costs.
