The €12,225 entry price is very low at €260/m², but estimated renovation costs of about €32,900 bring the effective cost to roughly €960/m²—above the local €667/m² benchmark. Ground-floor courtyard position and autonomous heating are positives, but the listing gives little detail about the renovation scope or bathroom.
More on the house and the area
The building facade has appealing historic Italian character, with brickwork, decorative stone trim and balustraded balconies. Inside, however, this is a cramped and worn ground-floor apartment with damp staining, dated services and no clearly documented bathroom, so it is a renovation project rather than a ready dream home.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.

- Significant renovation is needed, with visible damp, peeling finishes, old wiring and a very dated kitchen.
- The facts list zero bathrooms, so a bathroom may need to be created or substantially rebuilt.
- It is a ground-floor apartment in an interior courtyard with no scenic view or private outdoor space.
- The €12,225 price is exceptionally low but likely reflects renovation and possible legal/technical risks.
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 continuous built-up area of Turin, so the immediate surroundings are urban streets, dense neighbourhoods, rail corridors and major roads. The Po runs through the city, with the Dora Riparia and Stura di Lanzo also crossing the urban area. The Alpine arc is visible to the west and north, but it lies beyond the 15 km landscape that counts here. Turin is the regional capital and has the main concentration of services, universities, museums and transport in Piedmont. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in and around Turin are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
