What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 (€115/m²), the 174 m² house is explicitly completely to renovate; estimating €700/m² puts the effective cost near €815/m² (€141,800 total), far above the Veneto baseline of €333/m². Central location and parking help, but the renovation burden outweighs the low purchase price.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, roofed independent house with multiple rooms and existing floors, radiators and windows, so it appears structurally more substantial than a ruin. However, the interiors are dated and visibly degraded, with damp and unfinished utility areas; it is a major renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€34,000 – €61,000
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.
- Completely renovation-dependent, with visible damp, exposed brick and deteriorated finishes.
- Kitchen, bathrooms, wiring, plumbing and heating systems may require substantial upgrading.
- No scenic view or distinctive architectural setting is shown in the gallery.
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 the lower Po plain, with the Po nearby as the main landscape feature. The area is flat farmland with embankments, irrigation canals and scattered hamlets. Within about 15 km the nearest town of some size is Badia Polesine, which has the usual services and a railway station on the Verona–Rovigo line. Ferrara is reachable for practical needs beyond the immediate area but lies outside the local radius.
