Asking €160,000 for 172 m² plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (listing says “da risistemare”) gives an effective cost ≈ €280,400 or ≈ €1,631/m², nearly 4× the local median of €417/m²; despite a central location and 11 photos, the effective price is well above market.
More on the house and the area
A solid, two‑storey Veneto town house with a characterful pink facade, tiled roof and a private yard with rustic annexes. It’s a real, liveable structure but clearly needs renovation of interiors, services and the outbuildings before becoming a comfortable home.
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€34,000 – €60,000
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 described as 'da risistemare' — expect significant renovation of interiors and systems.
- Outbuildings/garage are dilapidated and will need repair or rebuilding.
- Only one bathroom listed for a large 7‑bed layout; interior photos/details absent.
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 58/100The area sits on the central Venetian plain between Treviso, Bassano del Grappa and Vicenza, with flat farmland, irrigation channels and scattered villas. Castelfranco Veneto itself has a complete medieval walled centre with the civic tower and cathedral, and it is known as the birthplace of Giorgione. Within about 15 km there are other plain towns such as Cittadella, whose ring of medieval walls is intact and walkable. The nearest substantial city is Treviso, which provides the larger range of services, rail links and airport access farther away. The Dolomites and the Adriatic are not part of the immediate landscape here.
