This is a judicial-auction lot described as impracticable due to severe infiltration and long abandonment; I estimate full restoration at ~€1,100/m² (total effective price ≈ €168,700 → ≈ €1,231/m²) versus the local baseline €312/m², so it is not a bargain and photos are not verified.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show stylish, move-in-ready interiors, but the official description warns the property is heavily abandoned and currently impracticable due to major infiltration from roof and foundations. At €18k this is a strong bargain only for someone ready to take on a major structural rebuild rather than an immediately livable dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€54,000 – €80,000
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.
- Listing text states severe water infiltration from roof and foundations making the building impracticable.
- Described as heavily abandoned with 1960s finishes — likely needs full structural and sanitary renovation.
- Photos in the ad are indicative/stock and may not represent the actual condition or appearance.
- Unclear utilities/permits; expect high remediation costs before inhabitable.
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 61/100The cluster lies on the southern edge of the Euganean Hills, the isolated volcanic group southwest of Padova. The nearest named natural feature within reach is the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei, with low wooded hills, vineyards and spa towns around Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme. The plain around Pozzonovo itself is flat reclaimed farmland crossed by canals and minor roads. Monselice is the nearest town of note, with a walled hill, castle complex and a substantial historic centre. Este is also close, with a historic centre at the foot of the hills and the Este Castle. The area is known for vineyards, olive growing on the hills, and thermal spa activity on the north side of the Euganean Hills.
