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
At €67,000 (€1,340/m²), this habitable 50 m² apartment is still about €1,540/m² after allowing roughly €10,000 for updates—well above the €646/m² local comparison level. The listing does not say the building year or energy class, which limits confidence.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely usable fifth-floor apartment with two balconies and broad city views, including plenty of greenery and distant landmarks. The parquet living room and generous light add character, but the interiors are dated and the exterior building condition is tired. It is more of a practical urban base than a dream Italian home.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 apartment is habitable but visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- The building facade, balconies, and railings look weathered and may involve future condominium costs.
- This is a dense urban Torino setting, not a scenic historic or rural Italian home.
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 continuous built-up area of Turin, so the immediate surroundings are urban streets, dense neighbourhoods, rail corridors and major roads. The Po runs through the city, with the Dora Riparia and Stura di Lanzo also crossing the urban area. The Alpine arc is visible to the west and north, but it lies beyond the 15 km landscape that counts here. Turin is the regional capital and has the main concentration of services, universities, museums and transport in Piedmont. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around Turin are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
