What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€83,000 for 120 m² with an estimated €700/m² renovation gives an effective cost ≈€167,000 (≈€1,392/m²) versus the local median ≈€345/m², so this is significantly overpriced for Veneto; the property is sold with a tenant in place (investment), not an immediate vacant home.
More on the house and the area
A simple, solid two-storey villa with a private courtyard and small garage — structurally intact but cosmetically tired. Clearly a usable home after renovation, though it’s sold with a tenant in place so not immediately vacant.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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.
