Priced at 362 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 351 EUR/m2, so essentially at market — not a bargain despite the 'Renovated' label. The 'Renovated' condition tag is contradictory: only ~60 m2 ground floor is actually renovated and habitable; the first floor (3 rooms + bath) needs full renovation and the second floor is raw storage space. So roughly half the 138 m2 requires work. Positives: recently redone roof, structurally sound, double-glazed windows, pellet heating, garage + parking, 40 photos, fresh listing (3 days). Renovation of the upper ~78 m2 at ~400 EUR/m2 is a reasonable estimate for making it habitable. Note it's a portion of a house (porzione di casa), which is normal here but limits value. Net: a solid, honestly-usable property at a fair price with upside if you finish the upper floors, but no meaningful discount to baseline.
More on the house and the area
A 1900 townhouse portion in Brusnengo, Piemonte, at a low €362/m². The exterior has some charm with the arched portico, terracotta roof, wooden shutters and multi-level balconies overlooking a courtyard. Only the ground-floor trilocale (~60sqm) is renovated; interiors are functional but dated (old-style wooden dresser, tiled floors, basic kitchen). The vaulted ceiling in the living area adds mild character. Upper two floors are unrenovated storage space. Basement shows pellet boiler/utility rooms. The bargain price is offset by significant renovation needed on most of the building. Pleasant but not a scroll-stopper.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Upper floors unrenovated and need full renovation
- No energy class listed
- Only 60sqm of the 138sqm is actually habitable
- Interiors are dated and plain
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 57/100The cluster sits in the low hills between the Biellese and the Sesia plain, in a farmed landscape of woods, fields and vineyards. The nearest named mountain backdrop is the Biellese pre-Alps to the north, but the village itself is outside the main alpine valleys. The area is known for the Bramaterra wine zone, with nebbiolo-based vineyards around Brusnengo, Masserano and Lessona. Masserano, a small historic town with a castle complex and old centre, is nearby. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre.
