Not before the basics are done
In the listingHabitableThe photographs say otherwise, and we go by the photographs.
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction property, so it carries substantial purchase, occupancy, legal and inspection risk despite the very low advertised price of €16,425 (€66/m²). The listing says the images are only indicative and does not provide reliable real-property documentation or condition details.
More on the house and the area
The headline appeal is exceptional space at an extremely low price: a 247 sqm two-level family house with two apartments, cellar, garage, and additional structures. However, the attractive interiors and grand city façade shown cannot be credited as evidence because the listing states they are not the real property photos. It may be a strong bargain, but its genuine beauty and move-in condition remain unproven.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 photos of the actual property.
- This is a court-auction purchase, requiring legal, occupancy, and condition checks before bidding.
- The property consists of two basic apartments plus cellar, attic, garage, and outbuildings; the true interior finish is unverified.
- Energy class G and limited factual detail suggest possible modernization costs.
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 52/100This is the flat edge of the Biellese and Canavese plain, with rice fields, canals and low farmland; the Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge lies nearby and is the main landform within reach. Lake Viverone is within the local area. Ivrea is the nearest larger town of note, with services and a historic centre, and Biella is also nearby with the usual provincial-town services. The area is known mainly for agriculture, especially rice-growing on the plain.
