Asking €70,000 for 100 m² is €700/m²; adding an estimated €150/m² of remaining works gives an effective €850/m², well above the Veneto baseline of €345/m². The unit is habitable with a 2023 partial renovation and 16 photos, but this is not a market bargain versus local median.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, move-in-ready two-level home with a private 200 m² garden and usable interiors (fireplace, balcony, garage). Not a romantic historic cottage, but a practical, well-kept bargain for someone who wants an affordable lived-in home near services.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Only one proper bedroom (small 2-room layout)
- Kitchen and bathroom look dated despite recent partial works
- Semi-detached unit with modest 1970s exterior and no notable view
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 38/100The cluster lies on the south-eastern Padova plain in the lower Bacchiglione and Brenta river area, with reclaimed agricultural land, drainage canals and levees as the main landscape. The Brenta has branches and embanked waterways in this zone, and the lagoon edge around Chioggia is outside the 15 km radius but part of everyday geography to the east. Piove di Sacco is the nearest substantial town, with regular services and a historic centre. Padova and the southern Venetian lagoon are reachable for work and errands but do not change the immediate landscape.
