See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000, the house needs complete renovation: estimated total cost is about €294,000, or €1,547/m², versus €333/m² for comparable Veneto homes. The central Rovigo location, two independent units and two garages add value, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely structured house with attractive old parquet floors, period-style chandeliers, two bathrooms, and plenty of rooms. However, the interiors are dated and visibly damp, while the exterior is unappealing and the listing explicitly calls for complete renovation, so it feels more like a substantial project than a dream-ready Italian home.
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€75,000 – €111,000
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.
- Requires complete renovation, including widespread damp and peeling plaster.
- No notable view, garden, or scenic setting is shown.
- Kitchen condition/installation and overall systems compliance are unclear.
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 37/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the city. The Adige runs west of Rovigo and the Po branches and wetlands of the Delta are farther south, outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Rovigo is the nearest town of size and has the usual services and a historic centre with churches and civic buildings. The area is known for arable farming in the Polesine plain.
