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
At €59,000 for 109 sqm, the asking price is €541/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €741/sqm. That is about 82% above this catalog baseline of €406/sqm in Veneto townhouses, so despite the garage and 700 sqm garden it looks expensive rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house with decent-sized rooms, a functioning kitchen and bath, and a genuinely attractive private garden/vegetable plot. The wow comes more from the amount of outdoor space for the money than from the house itself, which is simple, dated and needs cosmetic improvement rather than major reconstruction.
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€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.
- Interiors are plainly finished and somewhat dated rather than characterful.
- Some visible cosmetic wear and patchy walls/ceilings suggest refreshment is needed.
- The rear yard/outbuildings feel utilitarian, not especially pretty or polished.
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.
