See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€424/m²), the 165 m² house needs substantial renovation and includes a second portion still at rough-finish stage. Allowing roughly €900/m² for works puts the effective cost near €1,324/m², far above the local comparison level of €276/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable family house with a long balcony, private courtyard, working kitchen and bathrooms, plus attractive old brick-and-stone storage rooms. It has traditional Italian character and impressive space for €70,000, but much of the property is dated and one portion is still a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€33,000 – €58,000
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 property is explicitly sold for renovation, with one separate portion still unfinished/raw.
- Interiors are functional but dated, with worn finishes, old kitchen and bathroom fittings, and energy class G.
- The courtyard and possible garage require technical/legal verification; no notable landscape view is shown.
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.
