Why this price is what it is

At €590/m² before works, this 100 m² house needs complete renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €1,690/m²—far above the local €330/m² benchmark. The garage, dependance and outdoor space add value, but not enough to offset the heavy renovation burden.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is an appealing Piemonte farmhouse courtyard with traditional shutters, balconies, exposed brick outbuildings, and woodland around it. The interiors are floored and partly fitted rather than a bare shell, but the listing says a complete renovation is required, so it is better viewed as a substantial restoration project than a move-in home.

€60,000 – €90,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

€120,000 – €150,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €59,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Advertised as completely to renovate despite some usable-looking rooms and a fitted kitchen.
  • Visible peeling façades, aging finishes, and extensive agricultural outbuildings suggest substantial work.
  • Only one bathroom is listed for the 100 sqm property; utilities and structural condition are not confirmed.

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 38/100

The cluster sits in the low-lying agricultural plain of the province of Novara (the Po Valley sector of western Piedmont). The immediate 15 km radius is predominantly flat farmland used for rice, cereals and market gardening, with small villages and hamlets separated by fields and drainage channels. There is no named mountain range, lake, or national/regional park inside that radius. The nearest city of size and the local service hub is Novara, which supplies hospitals, main-line rail connections and larger shops; smaller nearby communes supply basic municipal services and local markets. No national monuments or UNESCO/bandiera recognitions are present within the local area.
