What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 for 180 m², the asking price is already €556/m²; with the stated renovation need, estimated total cost rises to about €226,000, or €1,256/m², versus roughly €297/m² for comparable local homes. The large garden and detached layout add value, but the listing provides only one photo and little detail about the renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
A substantial detached two-storey home with a covered porch, mature garden, and attached outbuildings offers real space and a pleasant rural setting. The intact exterior and roof suggest a potentially usable structure, but the property is explicitly sold as needing renovation and lacks the character, views, or interior evidence needed for a higher score.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation; interior condition is unverified because no interior photos are provided.
- No confirmed utilities, heating, energy class, or renovation scope.
- Rural location near Portomaggiore may mean limited services and car dependence.
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 39/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the settlements. The Po di Volano and the wetland areas of the Valli di Comacchio are within this part of eastern Ferrara province, and the Po Delta Regional Park begins to shape the landscape farther east. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status for the Este city and its Po Delta cultural landscape. The area is known for reclaimed lowland agriculture and wetlands toward the Adriatic side of the province.
