Asking €320,000 for 200 m² plus an estimated €1,100/m² restoration (≈€220k) gives an effective ≈€2,700/m² vs local median €486/m², so the all-in cost is far above market; the ad also states 'currently not habitable' while beds/baths are listed as zero, which is inconsistent.
More on the house and the area
Large 200 m² 1950s house with generous attic and visible original wooden beams, plus garage/workshop spaces on a private 820 m² lot. The building is currently a renovation project — concrete floors, dated fixtures and evidence of moisture mean this is not move-in ready but has solid potential.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Property is uninhabitable and advertised as 'entirely to be renovated' — full refurbishment required.
- Signs of water ingress and moss in the attic/roof space — likely roof/structural work needed.
- Old finishes and fixtures (bathroom/kitchen absent or outdated); check utilities and permits before purchase.
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 55/100This is in the built-up area of Padova on the Venetian plain, between the Bacchiglione and Brenta river systems.

The area is known for the dense network of canals, cultivated plain, and the historic city itself.
