Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €87,000 asking price is attractive at €387/m², but the unfinished attics, stated need for customization, and accessory storage spaces suggest roughly €700/m² in renovation, bringing the effective cost near €1,087/m² versus €671/m² for comparable homes. The listing does not say the condition, building year, or energy rating, so the apparent discount is difficult to validate.
More on the house and the area
This is a generous, genuinely livable multi-unit property with a sunny garden, traditional brick portico, tiled roofs, shutters, and plenty of outdoor space. The main interiors look solid and functional, while the unfinished attics and accessory buildings add real renovation potential rather than making the entire home a shell.
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€45,000 – €79,000
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.
- Two residential units appear usable, but the attics are explicitly unfinished and the property includes substantial rustic storage/farm buildings.
- Interiors are clean and furnished but dated, with strong yellow decor and older fixtures likely needing modernization.
- The setting is a pleasant village neighborhood rather than a scenic countryside or panoramic location.
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 38/100Casalvolone sits in the rice plain between the Sesia and Agogna rivers, in the flat landscape of the eastern Piedmont lowlands. The Sesia flows a few kilometres west. The nearest town of size is Novara, which has a substantial historic centre and rail links. Vercelli is also nearby and is one of the main centres of the paddy-field area known for rice cultivation and irrigated farmland. On clear days the Monte Rosa massif is visible far to the north, but it is not within the immediate 15 km landscape.
