See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €581/m² before works, the price is already well above the local €262/m² reference, and the ground floor consists of former commercial premises that may require costly, legally approved conversion to residential use. The listing does not state the condition or construction year, so the likely all-in cost is too high for a sound, straightforward home.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 155 sqm village house with traditional shutters, old wooden doors, a balcony/terrace, garage, and plenty of usable space. It is a genuine, roofed and serviced home rather than a shell, but the interiors are dated and the kitchen needs fitting, so it feels more like a practical renovation opportunity than a dream Italian retreat.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
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 interiors and extensive cosmetic updating are needed.
- The kitchen appears incomplete, with no fitted cabinets or appliances visible.
- The ground-floor rooms were formerly commercial spaces and may need adaptation for residential use; the home is directly on a public road.
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 40/100This is the Canavese plain between the Malone stream and the lower Dora Baltea basin, with a flat agricultural landscape of fields and irrigation channels. The nearest larger town is Chivasso, which has rail links, shops and everyday services; Turin is farther west and matters for commuting but is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for farming on the plain.
