Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 (€250/m²), the asking price is far below comparable Veneto homes, but the listing does not say whether the property is habitable. Allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €76,000 (€950/m²), while the stated room and bed counts do not fully match the description.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, compact two-level home with a private garden, traditional tiled roof, shutters, and some modest old-house character. It appears basically habitable rather than a ruin, but the worn facade, dated interiors, and uncertain systems make it a renovation-minded purchase rather than a dream-home visual.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Exterior render and shutters are visibly worn, with significant cosmetic maintenance needed.
- Interiors are dated and cluttered; the kitchen area is not clearly shown.
- The listing does not confirm heating, utilities, structural condition, or immediate move-in readiness.
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.
