See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which makes it unsuitable for the catalog regardless of the €100,000 asking price. The listing reports only 21 m², while the description claims a five-and-a-half-room apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, private outdoor space and a garage, so the property data is materially contradictory.
More on the house and the area
The interiors shown are bright, clean, and apparently habitable, but they look generic and provide no distinctive Italian character or proven view. The exterior setting is a dense, worn apartment complex, while the unusually small stated size and non-representative photos make the home’s real livability highly uncertain.
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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- The listing explicitly says the images are indicative and not actual property photos.
- Major inconsistency: facts state 21 sqm and zero bathrooms, while the description claims 5.5 rooms, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
- Auction purchase adds legal, timing, and occupancy/due-diligence risk.
- The surrounding apartment blocks are utilitarian and offer no visible scenic setting or architectural character.
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 72/100The area lies in the upper Novara plain between the Sesia and Ticino basins, with the Monte Rosa section of the Pennine Alps visible to the northwest in clear weather. Lake Orta begins within about 10 km, with the west shore around Gozzano and Pettenasco; the south end of Lake Maggiore is also close by, around Arona. The nearest substantial town is Novara for wider services, while Arona on Lake Maggiore is the main nearby lake town with rail links and ferry connections. The Sacro Monte di Orta on Lake Orta is a UNESCO site. This part of Piemonte is known for its proximity to the prealpine lakes and for vineyards of the Colline Novaresi around Boca and Ghemme.
