Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€750/m²), plus an estimated €300/m² for the unspecified remaining works after the partial 2023 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,050/m²—well above the €344/m² local comparison level. The private 200 m² garden and parking potential add value, but the listing does not say how much of the house was actually renovated.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable two-level home with a lovely private garden, mature planting, outdoor space and a practical covered veranda. The interiors are clean and functional after partial renovation, though largely dated and lacking historic character or a dramatic setting; at €75,000, the garden and livability create a solid value proposition.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€10,000 – €17,000
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 home is livable and furnished, but the kitchen, bathroom, enclosed veranda and some finishes are dated.
- Energy class F suggests relatively high running costs or future efficiency work.
- The setting is quiet and green but suburban and lacks a distinctive sea, mountain or historic 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 38/100The cluster lies on the south-eastern Padova plain in the lower Bacchiglione and Brenta river area, with reclaimed agricultural land, drainage canals and levees as the main landscape. The Brenta has branches and embanked waterways in this zone, and the lagoon edge around Chioggia is outside the 15 km radius but part of everyday geography to the east. Piove di Sacco is the nearest substantial town, with regular services and a historic centre. Padova and the southern Venetian lagoon are reachable for work and errands but do not change the immediate landscape.
