At €59,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (€56,000) the effective price is €115,000 (~€1,438/m²), far above the Piemonte baseline of €281/m². The ad is contradictory (listed as "Needs renovation" but also mentions heating, fiber, garage and "arredato"), reducing confidence in the condition.
More on the house and the area
Well-presented, liveable interior with high ceilings and attractive vintage-style tiled floors — you could move in and finish updates gradually. Exterior is plain but private (large gravel courtyard + garage), making this a solid, affordable Piemonte home rather than a scenic or historic showpiece.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 eastern Piedmont plain between the Dora Baltea and the Po basin, with a landscape dominated by rice fields, irrigation canals and straight rural roads. The nearest substantial town is Vercelli, which has services, rail connections and a historic centre with major churches and civic buildings. Ivrea and the first Alpine valleys are farther away and do not define the immediate 15 km surroundings. The area is known for rice cultivation in the vercellese plain.
