In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €39k (≈€394/m2) but listing says it "needs renovation"; estimated renovation €700/m2 → total ≈€108.3k or ≈€1,094/m2, well above the regional baseline of €465/m2. Positives: 24 photos, private courtyard, extra land and garage; costs push this from a bargain into an expensive-renovation project.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable village townhouse with a private courtyard, terrace and a bit of land for an orto — great value for the price. Interiors are lived‑in and dated but perfectly usable; expect cosmetic renovation to make it a comfortable, characterful 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€19,000 – €35,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and will need cosmetic updating (peeling plaster/old tiles).
- Bathroom, floors and some ceilings show wear — not a turnkey modern home.
- Small courtyard/plot rather than a large garden; no notable views.
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 39/100The area is in the lower Po plain, with flat reclaimed farmland and drainage canals around the Po di Goro branch of the Po delta. The Po and its embanked waterways are the main landscape feature within the area. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status linked to the Este city and the Po Delta. The wider area is known for delta agriculture and fishing landscapes.
