At €85,000 for 254 m², the asking price is €335/m², broadly in line with comparable Piemonte country houses at about €330/m². Allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified works and the G energy rating brings the effective cost near €535/m²; the listing does not state the property's condition or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A very large 254 sqm country house at a low price, with a usable kitchen, two bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, balcony, courtyard, double garage and attic potential. Its old-fashioned interiors, timber details and brick rural outbuilding provide some character, but the home is visually dated and lacks a spectacular setting or view.
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€17,000 – €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.
- Interiors are very dated, with extensive old wallpaper, worn finishes and peeling paint.
- The property appears livable but would need meaningful cosmetic modernization and likely some systems checks.
- The courtyard is enclosed/shared in character rather than a private scenic garden, and there is no notable view.
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 56/100The area lies on the Novara plain at the foot of the pre-Alps, with Monte Fenera and the first ridges of the Sesia and Cusio hills within this radius. The Agogna stream runs through this part of the province. Lake Orta is the nearest major landscape feature but it is beyond the 15 km radius, so it is a day-to-day destination rather than the immediate setting. Borgomanero is the nearest town of size, with rail links, shops and services. This part of upper Novara is known for mixed farmland, small industrial settlements and wine hills toward the Ghemme and Boca area.
