This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is only €192/m² versus a €375/m² baseline and the house is described as habitable, auction risk overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, clearly habitable detached house with usable kitchen, bathroom, stairs and finished rooms, so it reads as a real home rather than a project. The exterior is pleasant and the amount of private outside space adds appeal, but there is little historic character or scenic wow in the photos. At €57k for nearly 300 sqm, the value is strong, though the overall feel is practical more than dream-home beautiful.
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€19,000 – €33,000
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 and interiors feel plain 1980s rather than characterful.
- Photos do not show the full 1,340 sqm outside area or any real view.
- Auction sale may involve extra legal/process complexity.
- Some rooms look cluttered and may need cosmetic updating.
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 43/100The cluster lies on the southern Venetian plain between the Bacchiglione and Brenta water systems, in flat reclaimed farmland with drainage canals and lagoon-edge wetlands. The Venetian Lagoon is nearby, and the southern lagoon landscape around Chioggia and the mouths of the Brenta and Adige shapes the area more than any hill or mountain. The nearest town of size is Chioggia, which has a historic centre, fishing port and daily services; Padova is the main larger city for higher-order services. The area is known for market gardening, reclaimed agricultural land and the lagoon-fishing environment.
