Asking €89,000 plus an estimated €24,000 renovation (€200/m²) yields ~€942/m², well above the regional median of €345/m². The house is described as habitable with garage and heating, but the listing omits room/bed counts so key data are missing.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable terraced house with a private paved courtyard, covered parking and garage — livable now but a bit dated. Pleasant small-town character (arched loggia/church tower visible) and useful outdoor space make this an affordable, practical home.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Dated interior finishes — will need cosmetic updating
- Some plaster/damp staining visible in garage/low walls
- Town setting only — no scenic sea/lake/mountain views
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.

Lago di Viverone is within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest substantial town, with full services and its UNESCO-listed 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for wine from the Canavese hills and for the line of morainic ridges left by the ancient Balteo glacier.
