At €77,000, the effective cost is about €1,011/m² after allowing €200/m² for routine updating, around 51% above the €671/m² local benchmark. The two-level layout, autonomous heating, garage and parking add value, but the listing gives conflicting sizes (85 m² in the description versus 95 m² in the figures) and the energy class is F.
More on the house and the area
A bright, exceptionally tidy two-level apartment with a fully equipped traditional kitchen, spacious living area, attractive terracotta floors, and a striking open staircase. It appears immediately livable and benefits from recent roof and façade work, but the overall appeal is practical rather than dreamlike: the setting is ordinary and no memorable view, garden, or historic feature is visible.
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 – €11,000
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.
- No standout landscape view or distinctive historic character is visible.
- The apartment is on the second and third floors with no elevator.
- Energy class F; bedroom and bathroom condition are not shown in the gallery.
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 35/100Flat lowland of the Po plain characteristic of eastern Piedmont, with land within 15 km dominated by irrigated rice paddies and the dense network of canals used for rice cultivation; terrain is essentially flat with long straight roads and limited elevation change and frequent winter fog. Land use is overwhelmingly agricultural with small woodlots and linear riparian vegetation along irrigation channels; flooded fields in spring and early summer create seasonal wetland conditions that attract waterbirds. No national or regional park, notable mountains or lakes lie inside a 15 km radius; the nearest urban centre (Vercelli) provides rail connections and basic services to larger cities (Turin, Milan).
