See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €29,000 asking price (€121/m²) is well below comparable homes, but the property is explicitly described as needing renovation and would cost roughly €168,000 to refurbish at €700/m². That puts the estimated all-in cost near €821/m², far above the local €260/m² reference, with only one bathroom for a proposed multi-unit conversion.
More on the house and the area
The setting is appealing, with a generous wooded garden, greenery and broad unfinished terraces overlooking the surrounding landscape. However, the house is clearly a major renovation project rather than a usable home: much of the visible structure is raw concrete and brick, with no finished living interiors shown. At €29,000 it has strong potential for an ambitious restoration, but the current livability is low.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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 main structure is an unfinished shell with exposed brick ceilings, raw concrete, incomplete stairs and open façades.
- Only one bathroom is listed for 240 m², and the property requires substantial renovation before it can be lived in.
- The large wooded plot and terraces will require ongoing maintenance and may involve access, utility and permitting 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 71/100The cluster is in the Val Sangone at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with wooded lower slopes rising quickly west of the town. The Sangone stream runs through the valley. The Natural Park of Monte San Giorgio lies by Giaveno, and the Sacra di San Michele on Monte Pirchiriano is within the surrounding area and is one of the main historic landmarks of the lower Susa-Val Sangone hills. The nearest substantial town is Avigliana, with lakes and a medieval centre; Turin is the main city for services and work. This part of the province is known for prealpine valley landscapes, chestnut woods, and access to hiking into the lower Alps.
