Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 (€429/m²), this 91 m² home looks inexpensive against comparable local pricing, but the listing explicitly concerns a judicial auction and requires specialist due diligence. The advertised figures are also inconsistent: the facts state one room and no bathrooms, while the description says two bedrooms and two bathrooms; condition and real photographs are not provided.
More on the house and the area
The illustrated interiors look bright, modern, and fully finished, but they are generic and show no distinctive Italian character, private setting, or memorable view. The advertised property is a 91 m² two-level townhouse with garage, yet its real condition cannot be judged from these non-representative images. The €39,000 price is potentially attractive, but the uncertainty keeps the dream-home appeal low.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase involves legal, occupancy, and condition due diligence.
- The real home's finish, layout, bathrooms, and livability are unverified; energy class G is also a concern.
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 52/100Mercenasco sits in the Canavese plain between Ivrea and the lower Alpine foothills. The Dora Baltea runs through this part of the province, with irrigated fields, canals and scattered villages across a flat agricultural landscape. Ivrea is the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic centre and the industrial heritage linked to Olivetti, part of the UNESCO listing "Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century." Toward the north and west the Alps close the horizon, but the main mountain valleys and ski lifts are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This area is known locally for Canavese agriculture and for its position on the plain below the morainic hills of Ivrea.
