See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 plus an estimated €46,900 renovation, the effective cost is about €2,043/m²—far above the local €336/m² reference for similar homes. The central Turin location is a positive, but the property still appears strongly overpriced for a 67 m² mansard requiring renovation; the listing does not say when it was built or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a functional but very ordinary attic apartment in a dense urban building, with radiators, tiled floors, a kitchen, and a usable bathroom. The interiors are dated and plainly finished, while the exterior offers no special character, view, garden, or Italian dream-home atmosphere.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €23,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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, in the Po plain at the foot of the Alps, with the Po running through the city and the hill of Superga immediately to the east. Turin is a major city with extensive services, museums, universities, rail hubs and airport access. Within about 15 km there are the baroque core of Turin, the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy UNESCO sites including the city palaces and Venaria Reale, and the Superga basilica on the hill. This part of Turin is known for its historic urban fabric, royal residences and industrial history rather than for a rural or natural landscape.
