What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 for 133 sqm, the asking price is only €218/sqm versus a €331/sqm baseline, but the description says 'tetto in parte ceduto' (roof partly collapsed), which is a major structural red flag. With a full restoration estimate of about €1,100/sqm, the effective cost is far above baseline and this is closer to a ruin than a livable renovation project.
More on the house and the area
This has some appeal as a cheap rural plot with useful land, but the house itself looks very plain rather than dream-worthy. The description states the roof is partly collapsed, which makes it a serious renovation project, not a realistic live-in home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€53,000 – €78,000
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.
- Part of the roof has sagged/failed.
- Very likely not currently livable without major renovation.
- Roadside setting is plain with no notable views.
- Only two photos, so interior quality cannot be verified.
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 35/100The area is the flat southern Veronese plain between the Adige and the lower Vicenza-Padua countryside, with fields, irrigation canals and small market towns. The nearest larger towns are Lonigo, San Bonifacio and Legnago for daily services, while Verona and Vicenza are farther off for a wider range of shops and transport. This part of Veneto is known more for agriculture and for small-town food traditions than for a named landscape feature.
