I added €150/m² for finishing works, giving an effective price ≈ €89,950 total or €797/m². That is about 2.6× the Veneto baseline of €312/m², so despite being habitable, partially upgraded and central, the asking price is high for the market.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable terraced house very close to town centre — systems reportedly certified and the roof insulated, so it’s a realistic home. Interiors are basic and partly unfinished (bathroom, floors, stairs), so expect modest renovation to make it comfortable and attractive.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Plain, utilitarian interior with limited architectural character
- Bathroom and some finishes appear incomplete — cosmetic work and floor replacement likely needed
- Stairwell and storage areas need cleaning/repair; small rear courtyard only, no garden
- No notable views or scenic setting (town location)
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.
