Asking €39,000 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (100 m² → €70,000) gives an effective price ≈ €109,000 or about €1,090/m², well above the regional median €262/m². The low asking price is offset by heavy renovation needs, so this looks like an overpriced renovation project despite 9 photos and a private garden.
More on the house and the area
The property has real character — large enclosed courtyard and beautiful brick vaulted ceilings and loggia that would make a stunning restored home. Photographs show a mostly empty, rough shell with dirt floors, rubble and exposed areas, so this is a full renovation project rather than a move‑in house.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.

- Possible roof/structural repairs and moisture issues

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 32/100The cluster sits on the low-lying Po plain around Livorno Ferraris in the Vercelli province. The immediate landscape (within ~15 km) is predominantly irrigated agricultural land, with extensive rice paddies, straight drainage canals and networked irrigation ditches. Fields are crossed by raised rural roads and by lines of poplars and scattered farmsteads (cascine). There are no mountains, lakes or coast within the local radius and no national or regional parks in the immediate area. Small towns and villages nearby supply basic shops and services; the provincial capital Vercelli (roughly 25–30 km away) is the nearest city of size and has railway connections and a historic town centre. The area is agriculturally focused and known regionally for rice cultivation.
