Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The house appears usable, but at €95,000 (€1,145/m²), even allowing about €200/m² for updates, it is far above the local reference level of €330/m². Its historic-center location, balcony and independent heating add appeal, but the listing does not say the condition, construction year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely livable village house with a spacious open-plan kitchen/living area, two bathrooms, balcony, and a warm wood-lined upper room. The historic-center setting, shutters, exposed-style woodwork, and internal courtyard add character, but there are no standout views, garden, or truly spectacular architectural features.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Set within a shared courtyard, with no private garden or substantial outdoor space.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated in style, especially the bathrooms and decorative finishes.
- The top-floor attic is used as a bedroom; confirm its formal habitability and ceiling-height status.
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 38/100The area lies on the northern edge of the Turin plain near the lower course of the Po, with the first hills of Canavese to the north and west and the Alpine chain visible farther off. The Po plain and irrigation countryside dominate within the immediate surroundings, with smaller watercourses including the Malone in the local area. Turin is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail connections, universities, museums and airport access. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around Turin are a UNESCO World Heritage site, including Venaria Reale outside the city to the west, but this is beyond the immediate landscape of the cluster. The area is known for mixed agriculture, logistics and industry along the Turin metropolitan fringe.
