Price €89,000 plus estimated renovation €200/m² (230 m² → €46,000) yields an effective €135,000 — about €587/m², well above the regional typical of ~€403/m². The house is habitable and comes with modern heating, two AC units, a large garage, taverna and garden (17 photos), but the high effective €/m² keeps this in the fair category.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable 1980s townhouse with large rooms, a long balcony, private garden/courtyard, big garage and a 50 m² taverna — a practical family home. Interiors are tidy but clearly dated, so cosmetic modernization (kitchen, bathrooms, decor) is needed to make it a comfortable, attractive 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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- Dated 1980s finishes — kitchen and bathrooms will need updating for modern living
- Plain, street‑facing facade and balcony with limited privacy; exterior maintenance likely required
- Check seminterrato/garage for dampness and drainage before purchase
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 flat Polesine country between the Po and the Adige systems, with reclaimed agricultural land, canals and embankments as the dominant landscape. The Po is nearby to the south around Castelmassa and the area is shaped by its floodplain rather than by hills or historic upland scenery. The nearest larger towns in daily use are Badia Polesine and Castelmassa for basic services, while Rovigo and Ferrara are the nearest provincial cities with fuller retail, rail and administrative functions. This part of the lower Veneto is known for farming and drainage landscapes.
