In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 plus an estimated €16,000 for habitability work, the effective cost is about €1,188/m²—nearly three times the €411/m² local comparison level. The home is described as habitable with heating, balcony and garden, but its location offers no notable proximity premium.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable townhouse with a surprisingly generous private courtyard, mature olive and fig trees, and a sunny covered outdoor dining area. It looks usable immediately, but the architecture and finishes are ordinary and somewhat dated rather than characterful, while the lack of interior-room photos limits confidence about the full living quality.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 shows mostly the courtyard and enclosed veranda, not the main living rooms, kitchen, or bathrooms.
- Finishes and fixtures appear dated, with extensive security bars and a highly utilitarian layout.
- The outdoor space is pleasant but enclosed and closely surrounded by neighboring buildings, with no notable view.
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 38/100This is the southern Veronese plain on the Adige, with flat agricultural land and dispersed settlements. The Adige runs by Legnago and is the main landscape feature within reach. Verona is the nearest major city, with full services and major historic monuments, but it lies beyond the immediate surroundings. The area is known for irrigated farming in the Bassa Veronese.
