What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The apartment is described as habitable at €833/m², but allowing about €200/m² for its condition brings the effective cost to roughly €1,033/m², well above the €646/m² local benchmark. Heating and a cellar are positives, but the listing gives little detail on layout, bathrooms, energy performance, or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
The staged interiors look bright, modern, and potentially move-in ready, but they are not photographs of the actual apartment. The real offering appears to be a generic one-room Turin apartment in a tired residential block, with no historic character, garden, terrace, or compelling view.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 listing explicitly says the photos are indicative and not the actual property images.
- Auction purchase with uncertain floor area and limited real-property information.
- The description indicates a single-room apartment with bathroom and storage, despite the advertised 90 sqm being only an estimate.
- The exterior shows a plain, worn apartment block with no distinctive Italian character or proven 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 55/100The cluster is inside the built-up area of Turin, so the lived surroundings are urban streets and dense city fabric rather than a rural landscape. The Po runs through the city, with the Collina di Torino immediately to the east. Turin is the nearest major centre and has the full services, monuments, universities, museums and transport of a large regional capital. The Alps are visible west and north of the city, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape of most urban districts.
