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
Habitable 1960s terraced house (described as villetta a schiera, not truly a farmhouse) at 708 EUR/m2, ~2.2x the local median of 326 EUR/m2, so the price sits well above baseline despite being marketed as needing modernization. The 200 sqm private outdoor space and garage add value, and condition is livable, but the premium over baseline limits upside. Key drawback: property is occupied and only frees up in February 2027, a significant carrying/vacancy issue. Energy class is missing and modernization is needed (~400 EUR/m2 for a refresh, not a gut job). Fresh listing (3 days). Net: reasonable but not a bargain given the above-median price.
More on the house and the area
Standard 1960s terraced farmhouse in Montebelluna with dated, lived-in interiors: floral-tiled bathroom, worn kitchen with old wood-burning stove, cluttered bedrooms with dark laminate furniture, and green carpeting. Nothing visually striking inside or out. The exterior shows a plain courtyard with metal garage, weeds, and overhead cables. The ~200sqm private outdoor space and low €708/m2 price are the only modest positives, but the low price reflects renovation needs rather than a genuine bargain wow. Habitable but firmly ordinary; a fixer-upper with no standout features.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Dated interiors throughout needing modernization
- Cluttered, occupied rooms in all photos
