Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 134 m², the house needs renovation estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,439/m² versus a local benchmark near €335/m². The large size and potential for multiple units are positives, but they do not offset the very high all-in price.
More on the house and the area
A substantial Piedmontese courtyard house with attractive terracotta roofs, a private garden area, traditional details, and unusually spacious, furnished interiors. The main living accommodation appears functional with bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and heating, but the property is clearly dated and includes extensive workshop/storage spaces requiring renovation.
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€26,000 – €47,000
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.
- The property is explicitly described as needing renovation, with several rough storage/workshop areas.
- Interiors are usable but very dated, including wood paneling, old kitchen fittings, and worn finishes.
- No significant panoramic view is shown; the setting is a settled village/courtyard environment rather than an isolated countryside retreat.
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 61/100The cluster lies on the plain at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with the Varaita valley and Maira valley opening a short distance west and southwest. The Maira river runs by Busca. Cuneo is the nearest larger town, with full services and rail connections. Saluzzo is nearby and has a substantial historic centre. The area is known for fruit growing on the plain and for being the approach to the lower Alpine valleys; ski lifts are farther up the valleys and do not sit in the immediate 15 km surroundings.
