In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €295/m², the asking price is close to the local €279/m² benchmark, and the house is described as habitable with a renewed roof, façade, and boiler. Allowing about €26,400 for remaining updates brings the effective cost to roughly €495/m²; the garage, terrace, and private outdoor space add value, but the remote location and energy class F limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful, well-kept village house with a photogenic yellow façade, balcony, private garden, rooftop terrace and generous traditional interiors. It is a genuine habitable home rather than a renovation shell, with a renewed roof, new boiler, working kitchen, three bedrooms and a double garage. The €39,000 price for 132 m² gives it strong bargain appeal, though the style is old-fashioned and the setting is ordinary rather than spectacular.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom home.
- Energy class F and the town-street setting offer no notable landscape view.
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.
