Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 (€345/m²), the house is priced around the local benchmark, but it explicitly needs renovation; estimated works of about €700/m² bring the effective cost near €1,045/m². The lake view, 1,293 m² garden and parking add appeal, but not enough to offset the substantial renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely beautiful lakeside setting, with broad views over Lake Viverone, surrounding hills, a private 1,293 sqm garden and balconies. The house is not a ruin: it is roofed, furnished and equipped with kitchen, bathrooms and heating, but the interiors are dated and would need meaningful renovation before feeling fully comfortable. At €58,000 for 168 sqm with that view and land, the value is exceptionally compelling.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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 house is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with dated interiors, older windows and visible cosmetic wear.
- The garden is very large but appears sloped and the property shares a gated access with neighboring homes.
- Energy class G and mixed heating suggest future energy-efficiency and heating costs should be checked.
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 68/100The Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge runs through this part of the Biellese and gives the area a mix of wooded slopes, small fields and views toward the Canavese plain and the Alps. The Elvo valley and the lower Biella prealps are nearby, with the main Biellese mountain arc visible to the north. Lago di Viverone lies about 10 km away. The nearest larger town is Biella, which has full services, a historic centre and textile-industry heritage. This part of the province is known for the Serra d'Ivrea landscape, vineyards around the morainic hills, and proximity to the Biellese foothills.
