See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 plus an estimated €42,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €2,183/m²—more than three times the local €664/m² reference. The building facade and roof are recently renewed, but the apartment still needs internal renovation, so the price is weak for a 60 m² one-bedroom home.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, bright city apartment with two balconies and a pleasant leafy urban outlook, but it has little distinctive character. The intact floors, radiators and enclosed structure suggest a real home rather than a shell, though the kitchen needs rebuilding and the interiors require substantial updating.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.

- The apartment needs meaningful renovation, especially the stripped-out kitchen area and dated finishes.
- The bathroom and other rooms are not fully documented in the gallery.
- Urban surroundings offer greenery and balconies, but no scenic or historic setting.
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.
