Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €83,000 (€692/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €107,000 or €892/m² after allowing €200/m² for likely updating, well above the local €345/m² benchmark. The house has a garden, garage and two bathrooms, but it is energy class G and sold with an active rental contract, so it is not immediately available for owner occupation; condition and construction year are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A genuine standalone home with traditional shutters, a small private courtyard/garden, garage and a useful 120 sqm layout. However, the setting is ordinary and there are no notable views or historic interiors, while the facade and enclosed veranda need refreshing; it feels more like a practical investment property than a dream Italian home.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Currently sold with an existing rental contract, so it may not be immediately available for personal occupancy.
- Exterior shows peeling render, patched walls, aging windows and a dated enclosed veranda.
- Interior condition and kitchen/bathroom quality are largely unshown; energy class G.
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 flat lower Veneto plain between Padova and the Brenta-Bacchiglione drainage area, with a landscape of fields, canals and scattered settlements. The Brenta runs to the northeast and the southern edge of the Venetian Lagoon is within the wider area toward Chioggia, but the immediate surroundings are inland plain rather than coast. Padova is the nearest large city, with a major historic center, university and full services. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for being part of the settled plain linked to Padova and the lagoon hinterland.
