What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 (€990/m²), plus an estimated €200/m² for updating a habitable but dated apartment, the effective cost is about €1,190/m²—well above the local comparison level of €670/m². The garage, balcony, cellar, lift and central Novara location add value, but the listing describes an older, non-renovated interior with simple glazing and energy class F.
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.
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 35/100The cluster sits inside the built-up area of a city above 50,000 residents. The immediate surroundings are the flat Po Valley plain with intensive arable farming and a network of irrigation canals; rice and maize are common crops. Small rivers and drainage channels cross the plain, notably the Agogna river runs close to the city. There are no mountains, large lakes or regional/national parks within about 15 km. The city is a transport hub on the Milan–Turin rail corridor and has motorway links (A4, A26) and provincial-level services. The local economy combines urban manufacturing and services with agriculture on the surrounding plain.
