What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €96,000 (€320/m²), the house is 22% below the €412/m² baseline, but it requires renovation: estimated effective cost is about €306,000, or €1,020/m², far above the baseline. The facts state 300 m² while the description says approximately 220 m², adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A handsome, substantial early-20th-century-style house with exposed brick, shutters, a balcony, generous garden space, and a distinctive stone fireplace. It is a real, roofed and floored home with two bathrooms and heating, but the interiors are very dated and the property clearly needs significant renovation before it feels truly comfortable or stylish.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed throughout, despite the intact roof, floors, bathrooms, heating and utilities visible in the photos.
- The kitchen and finishes are dated, and there are visible damp/age-related marks and cracking.
- No scenic sea, mountain, or valley view is shown; the setting is a town-center residential plot.
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 41/100This is the lower Po plain around the Po di Volano and the drainage-canal landscape east of Ferrara, with flat farmland, embankments and scattered reclaimed land settlements. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status linked to the Renaissance city and the Po Delta. The Po Delta Regional Park lies partly within this radius toward the east, with wetlands, pinewoods and lagoons in the delta area. The area is known for irrigated agriculture and land reclamation.
