What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says '*immobile in procedura esecutiva*', so this is a judicial sale/auction-type listing, which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The headline price is low at €227/m² versus a €371/m² baseline, but auction uncertainty and the note that images may be only indicative outweigh the discount.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a real, usable habitable house with a decent rear yard, balcony and practical outbuilding, so condition is clearly above shell level. But the visual appeal is modest: no proven interior beauty, no views, and the setting is mainly a roadside semi-rural spot rather than a dream location. At the price and size it has value, but it is more practical bargain than wow home.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Photos may be indicative and not all appear to show the actual property.
- Busy roadside position reduces charm and quiet.
- Exterior is plain modern-suburban rather than characterful.
- Executive procedure/auction adds legal-process complexity.
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 Euganean Hills rise immediately around Este, a compact group of volcanic hills that give this part of the plain a distinct relief. The Frassine and Bisatto waterways run through the area, and the wider setting is the southern edge of the Euganean plain. Much of the surrounding hill country falls within the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei. The nearest larger city is Padova, which provides the full range of urban services and rail connections. Arquà Petrarca, within the Euganean Hills, is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for vineyards, olive groves, and historic walled hill and plain settlements linked to the Colli Euganei.
