What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 for 100 m² the asking price is already €490/m²; adding an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€20,000) makes an effective €690/m², well above the regional median of €417/m². The listing omits condition and energy data and the facts show 0 baths while the description mentions a bathroom, so details are inconsistent.
More on the house and the area
A solid, liveable townhome with intact structure and original 1970–80s fittings — not pretty-modern but perfectly usable. The small attics with exposed beams and the 300 m² orto add rustic charm, and at €49k this is a clear bargain for someone willing to modernize.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interior is very dated and needs cosmetic updating (kitchen, bathroom, wallpaper/flooring).
- Attic/subroof rooms are raw/partially finished and will require work to be fully habitable.
- Property sits in a shared corte (common courtyard) — outdoor orto (~300 m²) is a plus but access/privacy are limited.
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 60/100The cluster is at the foot of the Pasubio and Piccole Dolomiti groups, with pre-Alpine ridges closing the northern horizon and valleys leading up toward Valli del Pasubio and Recoaro. The Leogra valley is the local river valley landscape around Schio. The nearest ski area is Recoaro Mille, roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Schio is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services, industry and rail connections toward Vicenza. The area is known for its wool and textile history and for the mountain front of the Venetian Prealps immediately above the plain.
