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 €67,000 for 94 sqm, the ask is €713/sqm; with a habitable-home allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €913/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €405/sqm. The description and 20 photos support that it is livable, but on these numbers it is far above this catalog’s local baseline, so it looks weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, fully usable home with a pleasant private garden, generous bedrooms and a practical layout, so it feels realistically livable from day one. The wow comes more from the low price and outdoor space than from beauty: the house is tidy but dated, with a simple suburban exterior and no special views. Charming and good value rather than a dream-showpiece.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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 quite plain and suburban rather than scenic or characterful
- Interiors are dated and will likely need cosmetic modernization
- No meaningful view shown in the photos
- Outbuilding/taverna area looks basic and semi-rustic rather than polished living space
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 the southern Veronese plain on the Adige, with flat agricultural land and dispersed settlements. The Adige runs by Legnago and is the main landscape feature within reach. Verona is the nearest major city, with full services and major historic monuments, but it lies beyond the immediate surroundings. The area is known for irrigated farming in the Bassa Veronese.
