The description explicitly presents this as a judicial auction, which is a disqualifying risk for this catalog regardless of the €93,000 price or €344/m² asking level. The listing also provides only two illustrative photos and says the published details require verification.
More on the house and the area
A large three-storey village palazzo in a central Barbania location, with a handsome historic stone arch and direct presence on the main square. The listed layout sounds like a usable home, but there are no interior photos and the auction documentation, bathrooms, utilities, and actual maintenance condition need verification.
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€18,000 – €30,000
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.
- Only two photos are provided, so the interior condition and finishes cannot be assessed.
- The listing states habitable, but the recorded zero bathrooms and auction context require careful verification.
- Central-road location and shared internal courtyard may mean traffic and limited privacy.
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 61/100Barbania lies in the Valli di Lanzo area at the edge of the pre-Alpine hills north of Turin, with the lower Lanzo valleys and the first Alpine relief close by. The Stura di Lanzo river runs through the wider area to the west. The nearest larger town is Ciriè, which has a railway station, shops and services, while Turin is the main city for higher-order services and work. The Lanzo valleys are known for mountain access, chestnut woods and small valley villages; higher ski lifts are farther up-valley and are not at the village itself.
