What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimate €200/m² renovation = €36k, so effective price ≈ €105k (≈€583/m²), about 44% above the regional median of €406/m²; habitable but needs modernization and is energy class G, so it looks overpriced for Veneto.
More on the house and the area
A solid, intact two‑storey detached house that’s genuinely habitable today but clearly of its era — original 1970s/80s fittings and patterned tiles throughout. Best for someone who wants independence, garage and a bit of private outdoor space and is happy to modernise kitchen, bathrooms and decor over time.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 interiors and finishes — kitchen, bathrooms and floors will need updating.
- Located directly on the main road — expect traffic noise and limited street privacy.
- Outdoor space is small (garage and modest yard) rather than a large garden.
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 33/100This is the flat Po Valley between the Adige and Po systems, with reclaimed agricultural land, canals and embankments as the main landscape. The Adige runs nearby, and the wider Polesine plain begins immediately to the south. Padova is the nearest major city in daily use, with full services, a university and major rail links. The area is known for intensive farming and drainage landscapes rather than for a named natural or historic site within the immediate surroundings.
