What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €51,000 for 173 sqm, the asking price is just €295/sqm versus a €406/sqm baseline, but the description clearly points to a house to personalize rather than ready to live in; using ~€700/sqm renovation, the effective cost is about €995/sqm. Central location in Fossò and 28 photos are positives, but after renovation this looks only moderately priced rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
There is some appeal in the classic two-storey facade with its long wrought-iron balcony, and the price for 173 sqm is eye-catching. But the photos show a house that is not move-in ready at all: interiors are bare, damaged and partly gutted, with rough service spaces and outbuildings needing substantial work. This feels like a serious renovation project in a convenient central location, not an immediate dream-home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €61,000
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.
- Interior is stripped and requires major renovation before it is habitable.
- Rear outbuildings/secondary volumes look rough and partly unfinished.
- Busy roadside position in the town center, so setting is practical rather than idyllic.
- Outdoor area is a gravel yard/rough plot, not yet a finished garden.
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 53/100This is the central Venetian plain between Padova and the Brenta system, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and dispersed settlements. The Brenta runs nearby to the north-west, and the Riviera del Brenta begins within this area with a chain of villas and riverside settlements along the old water route toward Venice. Mira and Dolo are the nearest larger centres, with everyday services and commuter links toward Padova and Venice. The area is known for the villas of the Brenta and for market-gardening and mixed agriculture on the plain.
