What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,940/m², with the building still being completed and roughly €200/m² allowed for finishing, the effective cost is about €2,140/m²—over three times the local €673/m² benchmark. Energy class A, central Suno location and customization potential add value, but the premium is still substantial.
More on the house and the area
A clean, modern apartment in a small four-unit building, with attractive balconies, planted borders, and a pleasant suburban setting. The planned interiors appear practical and finished to a good standard, but this is not yet a lived-in home and the gallery provides no proof of the actual completed result.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 building is still being completed, so actual finish quality and handover condition are unverified.
- The images are architectural renders rather than photographs of the finished apartment.
- It is a compact 50 sqm one-bedroom apartment with only an uncovered parking space and shared courtyard.
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 56/100The cluster sits on the northern edge of the Novara plain where flat farmland gives way to the lower hills of the Prealps. The surrounding land is mixed agriculture with vineyards present in the nearby hill communes that form part of the Alto Piemonte wine area (Ghemme/Gattinara are in the same wine district to the north/northeast). The nearest towns of size are Borgomanero (local services, shops and a railway station) and the provincial capital Novara (regional rail connections, hospitals and larger services). The larger lakes of the area (Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore) lie to the west and are regional attractions beyond the immediate plain. Mountainous areas and ski facilities in the Monte Rosa/Sesia valleys lie further to the north and are reached by regional roads.
