See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 300 m², the renovation-adjusted cost is roughly €1,000/m², far above the €345/m² level of comparable homes in Piemonte. The property has useful features such as a garage, cellar, terrace and heating, but the substantial renovation need makes the asking price weak.
More on the house and the area
A generous traditional Piedmont townhouse with attractive arched ceilings, terrazzo floors, original-style chandeliers, a fireplace, balcony, courtyard, garage, and a genuinely lovely rolling-hills view. The house appears solid, roofed, and usable rather than a ruin, but its dated interiors, visible wear, and likely damp issues make it a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Substantial renovation and modernization are likely needed, especially bathrooms, finishes, and possibly the kitchen.
- Visible ceiling discoloration and wall wear should be checked for damp or roof-related problems.
- The large 300 sqm layout may bring significant heating, maintenance, and renovation costs.
