Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €250/m², the €40,000 asking price is attractive, but allowing roughly €40,000 for updates puts the effective cost near €500/m², above the local comparison level of €317/m². The description suggests a usable farmhouse with garden, parking, solar panels and climate control, but its condition is not stated and the listing conflicts on the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious rural farmhouse with a private garden, functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating/cooling, and established household interiors. It has pleasant countryside surroundings and some everyday Italian character, but no dramatic view or standout historic features; the main appeal is the very low price and livable scale rather than beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€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.
- Interiors and exterior finishes are quite dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a relatively large five-bedroom house.
- The property sits directly beside rural roads, so traffic noise and privacy should be checked.
- Roof, insulation, utilities, and solar-panel condition are not documented.
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 52/100The area is the lower Po plain around the Po Delta, with flat reclaimed farmland, drainage canals and embankments. The Po and its delta branches are the main water landscape within reach, and the Veneto Regional Park of the Po Delta begins nearby around the eastern side of the comune. Adria is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and a historic centre linked to the ancient port settlement. This part of Polesine is known for rice fields, market gardening and fishing closer to the delta lagoons.
