What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking price is very low at €288/m² versus a €406/m² local baseline, but this is a mixed-use property with two townhouses plus a commercial unit, and one dwelling is stated as fully to renovate while only the main one is habitable. Using an estimated blended renovation cost of about €450/m², the effective cost rises to roughly €738/m², so the low sticker price is offset by works and mixed-use complexity.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, very cheap multi-part property rather than a swoon-worthy dream house. The rear courtyard/garden adds some charm, and the main home looks solid and usable now with kitchen, bedrooms and bath in place, but interiors are plain and old-fashioned while part of the complex needs full renovation.
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, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €47,000
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.
- Main house is habitable but dated throughout.
- Second dwelling is fully to renovate.
- Only one bathroom shown for a large 240 sqm complex.
- No scenic views or standout setting visible.
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 38/100This is flat Po Valley country on the edge of the Veronese plain, with fields, irrigation canals and scattered villages. The Adige runs to the north of the area, and the Tartaro passes near Sanguinetto. Legnago is the nearest town of size, with rail links, hospitals and the main services for the lower Veronese plain. Verona is farther away and matters for higher-order services and access. The area is known for intensive agriculture in the plain.
