What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €508/m², the asking price is already 25% above the Veneto townhouse baseline of €405/m², and a modest €200/m² allowance raises effective cost to about €708/m². The property includes only about 90 m² of clearly described residential space, with the remainder assigned to shop/laboratory use, so legal usability and condition need verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, fully established townhouse with a private garden, paved outdoor space, garage, terrace, working kitchen and bathrooms, so it reads as a genuinely usable home rather than a renovation shell. Its main appeal is space and practicality, not beauty: the architecture is ordinary and the interiors are dated, though largely sound and livable.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Dated interiors and bathrooms will likely need cosmetic updating.
- The property includes commercial spaces, including a shop and laboratory, which may complicate residential use or renovation.
- No notable view or historic architectural character is visible.
- Exterior finishes, roof edges, shutters, and fencing show age and maintenance needs.
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 lies in the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the Po River system. The Po runs nearby and shapes the landscape more than any hill or mountain feature. Ferrara is the nearest larger city, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for arable farming and river plain settlements.
