Asking €34,000 with estimated €200/m² work → effective ≈ €65,000 total (~€419/m²) vs regional median €467/m² (about 10% below). Readily habitable 155 m² townhouse with 22 photos, garage and garden — strong low‑price opportunity in Emilia Romagna (days on market: 3).
More on the house and the area
A straightforward, move-in‑ready terraced house with a small private garden, parking/garage and usable rooms — practical and affordable rather than romantic. Interiors are clean but dated, so it’s a solid bargain for someone who wants a lived‑in home and will refresh finishes.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 kitchen and bathrooms — cosmetic updating likely required
- Portion of land is in comproprietà (shared) — clarify boundaries/rights
- No energy rating provided; check heating efficiency and windows
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 49/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat reclaimed farmland and drainage canals around the branches of the Po; the Po di Volano and the Po di Goro are the main nearby waterways in this part of the province. The Po Delta Regional Park lies nearby, especially toward the east around the Mesola woods, lagoons and wetlands. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status shared with the Po Delta. The area is known for arable farming and for the delta landscapes of water, embankments and fishing valleys farther east.
