See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing ("Data di asta", "offerta minima"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even aside from that, the text mentions cracks and building issues to regularize, implying about €350/m² renovation on top of the €259/m² ask.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: kitchen, bathrooms, heating, air-conditioning and a decent rear court are all in place. The garden and covered patio add livability, but the architecture and interiors are ordinary with no view or notable historic character. Good value for the size, though the reported cracks and planning issues keep it well below dream-home territory.
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, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Some wall cracks/fissures are reported.
- Building/permit irregularities need regularization.
- Exterior and interiors are functional but fairly plain.
- Auction sale: practical/legal due diligence is essential.
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 72/100The cluster sits at the eastern edge of the Euganean Hills, a volcanic hill group that rises out of the plain south of Padova. The Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei is within the area. Monselice itself has a substantial walled hill with the Rocca and the Mastio Federiciano above the town. Este, another town of size with services and a historic centre, is nearby at the foot of the same hills. The area is known for vineyard slopes, olive groves, villas and spa towns around the Euganean Hills.
