At €69,000 (€246/m²), the asking price is about 29% below comparable homes, but an estimated €200/m² for unspecified updating brings the effective cost to roughly €446/m²—above the local reference level. The listing describes a large, immediately available 280 m² house with garden and terraces, but does not state its condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably spacious 280 sqm traditional townhouse at €69,000, with multiple bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms, wood floors, marble stairs and strong old-house character. It appears to be a genuine usable home rather than a shell, though it would benefit from cosmetic renovation and modernization. Its exceptional size-to-price ratio is the main wow factor, while the setting is peaceful but not visually spectacular.
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€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Several rooms show peeling paint, ceiling wear and general deferred maintenance.
- The property is spread over multiple levels, with extensive stairs and a large amount of space to heat and maintain.
- It fronts a road and the photos do not show a major panoramic view.
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 63/100The cluster is in the Serra morenica di Ivrea, the long glacial ridge that runs across this part of southern Biella and Canavese. The Dora Baltea plain and the Ivrea area are close to the south, and the first Biellese pre-Alps rise to the north. The nearest larger town is Biella, with the provincial services, shops and rail connections. Ivrea is also nearby, with a larger historic centre and the UNESCO-listed industrial city of Olivetti. This area is known for morainic hills, woodland, small vineyards and mixed farming.
