What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €387/m², the asking price is near the Veneto townhouse baseline of €405/m², but applying a conservative €200/m² renovation allowance raises the effective cost to about €587/m². The description is positive and includes a garden and substantial accessory space, but condition and legal usability of the 120 m² basement are not specified.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious family home with multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, large balcony, garden, and substantial garage/basement space. The interiors are clean and furnished but distinctly dated, while the exterior is plain and weathered rather than picturesque. Its 230 sqm size, private outdoor area, and €89,000 price create a credible value proposition, but the property is more practical than dreamy.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- The home appears dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating, especially the bathrooms, kitchen, wall finishes, and exterior facade.
- The long shared-looking balcony and attached townhouse setting offer limited privacy.
- No strong scenic view or distinctive historic character is visible.
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 34/100This is flat Polesine country between the Po and the Adige systems, with reclaimed agricultural land, canals and embankments as the dominant landscape. The Po is nearby to the south around Castelmassa and the area is shaped by its floodplain rather than by hills or historic upland scenery. The nearest larger towns in daily use are Badia Polesine and Castelmassa for basic services, while Rovigo and Ferrara are the nearest provincial cities with fuller retail, rail and administrative functions. This part of the lower Veneto is known for farming and drainage landscapes.
