Listed at €97,000 for 330 m²; estimated renovation €200/m² (~€66k) gives an effective price ≈€163k (≈€494/m²), about 43% above the regional median €345/m². The house is habitable with autonomous heating and a garage and photos (24) support condition, but the effective €/m² makes it overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid terraced farmhouse with big rooms, high ceilings and original details (ceiling roses, tall windows, terrazzo). The house is habitable now but clearly needs updating to modern standards, with attic and garage areas that offer good extra space for conversion.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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.
- Cosmetic modernisation needed — dated kitchen and bathrooms.
- Only one bathroom for a large house.
- Attic/garage/barn spaces require renovation to be fully usable.
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 39/100This is the eastern Vercelli plain, in the rice country between the Po and Sesia rivers. The Po runs a few kilometres south of Caresana and the Sesia is also close by to the east, with flat fields, irrigation channels and poplar-lined roads forming the immediate landscape. Casale Monferrato is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services. The area is known for rice cultivation in the plain and for the transition toward the Monferrato hills a little farther west.
