Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €674/m² asking price is close to the local €671/m² benchmark, but the apartment has original finishes, single-glazed wooden windows, energy class G and likely modernization costs of about €400/m². Its last-floor position, lift, garage, cellar, terrace and proximity to services add value, but the effective cost is roughly €1,074/m² after renovation.
More on the house and the area
A bright, genuinely usable top-floor apartment with generous rooms, a large balcony, and an impressive Alpine mountain panorama. It is move-in capable rather than a renovation shell, though the original 1980s finishes and energy performance reduce the dream-home polish. At €60,000 with garage and cellar, the space and setting offer strong value.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €18,000
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 interiors are in good original condition but distinctly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- Energy class G and single-glazed wooden windows may mean higher heating costs and future upgrades.
- This is an apartment rather than a standalone house, with no private garden or land.
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 72/100The Cottian Alps rise immediately west of Luserna San Giovanni at the entrance to the Val Pellice, with Monte Vandalino and the Conca del Prà side of the valley among the nearby mountain terrain. The Pellice river runs through the valley floor. The nearest ski lifts are the small lifts at Rucas di Bagnolo Piemonte, roughly 30–40 minutes by road, while the larger Via Lattea ski areas are much farther and do not shape the immediate landscape. Torre Pellice is the nearest town of some size and has the main services of the valley. This area is known for the Waldensian valleys of western Piedmont, with a long Protestant historical presence centered on the Val Pellice.
