What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Price is €1186/m2 versus a town baseline median of €354/m2 — roughly 3.3x the local median, which is a significant premium. The baseline is reasonable, but the listing is a small (59m2) 1958 detached villa described as habitable inside yet needing exterior work. Interior condition is decent (fireplace, heating), but at €70k total for a 2-room/1-bed unit requiring cosmetic/exterior renovation plus no energy class disclosed and no sea proximity data, the price sits well above comparable local values. The garden adds some value but doesn't justify the multiple. Estimated renovation ~€400/m2 for exterior/systemization work. Fresh listing (6 days), so no staleness, but the premium over baseline makes this a poor value relative to the market.
More on the house and the area
Small 59sqm detached 1958 villa in Porcia, priced at 70k. Interiors are dated but tidy and habitable with a rustic charm (exposed beam, brick fireplace, ceramic chandelier, terracotta floors), yet nothing striking. Exterior is genuinely unappealing - grey pebbledash render, an unfinished breeze-block wall, overgrown grass and immediate proximity to a raised road. No standout view, location, or architectural feature. Bathroom and kitchen are basic and old. An ordinary fixer-upper with no scroll-stopping quality.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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 is rundown with rough render, exposed brick wall and overgrown yard
- Property sits directly beside an elevated road/embankment - poor location
- Dated interiors: 1970s tiling, old bathroom, tired kitchen
- Needs external renovation per listing
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 lies on the upper Friulian plain, with the Friulian Prealps visible to the north and the lower course of the Noncello running through Pordenone. The Livenza is nearby to the west, and the landscape around the town is mostly flat farmland, waterways and built-up fringe. Pordenone is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services, rail connections and regional cultural venues. The Dolomites and Piancavallo ski lifts are farther north and matter for logistics rather than for the immediate setting. The area is known more for its position between the plain and the foothills than for a distinct named landscape within 15 km.
