Listing price €75,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€105,000) gives an effective cost of ~€180,000 or ~€1,200/m². That's about three times the local median of €406/m² despite being close to the historic centre, so the effective price looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A practical, family‑sized townhouse very near Montagnana’s historic centre with a small private corte and garage. Interiors are lived‑in and mostly usable today but need updating (dated bathroom, some cosmetic repairs) — good bones for someone who wants a sensible renovation rather than a project rebuild.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Requires partial renovation — bathrooms and some finishes look dated
- Street‑facing main entrance with limited privacy and visible exterior plaster damage
- Garden/corte is narrow — outdoor space exists but is small
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 57/100The area is in the southern Veneto plain between the Euganean Hills to the northeast and the first low rises toward the Berici and Lessini farther west, but the immediate surroundings are flat farmland crossed by minor canals and roads. The Frassine river runs by Montagnana. Montagnana itself is known for its complete medieval walled circuit with gates and towers, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The nearest larger centres are Este and Monselice to the northeast, with services, rail links and historic town centres.
