The house is described as immediately habitable, with a recently rebuilt roof, garden and parking, so estimated renovation is limited to about €200/m². At roughly €860/m² including that allowance, it is far above the local €341/m² benchmark, and its inland location offers no clear premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious, bright, genuinely usable family home with a functional kitchen, multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, heating, and a recently renewed roof. Its appeal is practical rather than photogenic: the interiors are clean and solid but dated, with little distinctive historic character or standout view. The private garden and generous 150 sqm layout could make it attractive at this price, although they are not visually confirmed here.
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€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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and appear immediately habitable, but finishes and kitchen/bathroom styling are dated.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs and future efficiency work.
- The advertised garden, parking/garage spaces, exterior condition, and surrounding setting are not shown in the gallery.
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 33/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals across the Polesine. The Adigetto canal passes through Ceregnano, and the Po is the main river system of the area a short distance to the south. Rovigo is the nearest town of size, with everyday services, a railway station and a compact historic centre. The wider area is known for reclaimed wetlands, farming and the river landscape of the Polesine.
