See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 (€458/m²), this 83 m² apartment with a garage is priced well below the local €667/m² reference, although estimated works bring the effective cost close to market level. The listing describes a functional layout and autonomous heating but does not state the property’s condition or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, spacious apartment in a picturesque Piedmontese town, with attractive views toward wooded hills and a prominent historic church tower. The old shutters and village setting add character, but the apartment itself is plain and currently needs real renovation rather than being move-in ready. Its strong point is the livable 83 sqm layout with two bedrooms, garage, and a beautiful surrounding landscape.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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 apartment needs a substantial refresh, including repainting, ceiling repairs, and likely kitchen installation or completion.
- The interior is empty and somewhat unfinished, with exposed wiring and signs of damp or age-related wear.
- Second-floor access is by stairs, as there is no elevator.
- The photos do not clearly prove the condition of the bathroom, heating system, or utilities.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Saluzzo plain at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with Monviso dominating the western skyline and the lower Varaita Valley opening within a few kilometres. The Po rises on Monviso farther up the valley system, and the Varaita is the local river of this side of the plain. Saluzzo is the nearest substantial town and has a preserved historic centre with the hilltop Castiglia and a concentration of late-medieval and Renaissance buildings. Manta, just nearby, is known for the Castello della Manta. This part of the province is known for fruit growing, especially apples and kiwi, with a dense pattern of orchards across the plain.
