What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing’s dilapidated building will likely require a full rebuild at roughly €1,100/m² (≈€220k on 200 m²), so the effective price is about €1,285/m² versus the regional median of €312/m². The large 3,500 m² lot and additional developable area are positives, but do not offset the very high total redevelopment cost.
More on the house and the area
Big, green 3,500 m² plot on the edge of Rovigo offers strong value and scope to build a personalized home. The existing building looks dilapidated and the lot runs alongside a railway, so this is a project that needs a rebuild and careful checks on permits and services.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Existing fabbricato described as 'fatiscente' — likely requires full renovation or demolition
- Plot borders an active railway — likely noise/vibration issues
- Utilities, exact buildable rights and permits not confirmed (B4 zone conditions need checking)
- No interior photos provided; condition of the building is unclear
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 lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals around the city. The Adige runs west of Rovigo and the Po branches and wetlands of the Delta are farther south, outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Rovigo is the nearest town of size and has the usual services and a historic centre with churches and civic buildings. The area is known for arable farming in the Polesine plain.
