Asking price is €1,025/m² and even assuming minor works (€200/m²) the effective cost is €1,225/m² versus the regional median of €414/m² — roughly three times higher. The listing gives energy class G and does not state the house condition, so I assumed only light renovation; price remains strongly above market.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roomy detached house with a very attractive asset: nearly 900 m² of private garden. The interior is lived-in and mostly habitable but dated (bathrooms, kitchen, floors) and a few rooms need finishing, so this is a comfortable home after straightforward renovation.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 1970s finishes and bathrooms—cosmetic updating recommended
- Some rooms show recent patch repairs and unfinished flooring
- Energy class G — heating and insulation likely need upgrading
- No notable views or historic architectural features visible
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 56/100No mountains or named hill range within 15 km; the site lies on the flat Venetian plain. The local landscape is predominantly arable farmland and market-gardening plots with irrigation canals and small waterways typical of the Po-Venetian lowland. The Bacchiglione river is the main river in the wider Padua area and part of the local drainage network. The cluster is adjacent to Camposampiero, which provides local shops and services. Padova (Padua) is the nearest city (within roughly 15 km) and contains a historic university (founded 1222), a major railway station with regional and national connections, and landmarks including the Scrovegni Chapel, the Basilica di Sant'Antonio and Prato della Valle. The A4 (Milano–Venezia) autostrada and the main east–west rail corridor run through the area via Padua; the nearest international airports serving the area are Venice Marco Polo and Treviso.
