In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €22,500 plus an estimated €16,000 for light renovation, the effective cost is about €481/m²—roughly 28% below comparable local stock. The apartment is described as habitable and has 34 photos, though the listing provides very few details beyond that.
More on the house and the area
This is a very inexpensive, apparently habitable 80 sqm apartment, which gives it some bargain appeal. However, the verified photos show an ordinary urban apartment with limited character, and the attractive interior images are stock marketing images rather than evidence of the actual home.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Most interior photos are explicitly commercial/staged images and do not prove the apartment’s actual condition.
- The real photos show a basic apartment building and cramped, dated-looking rooms with no notable view or outdoor space.
- Bathroom count is listed as zero despite a bathroom photo, so the listing details should be verified.
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 35/100Flat lowland of the Po plain characteristic of eastern Piedmont, with land within 15 km dominated by irrigated rice paddies and the dense network of canals used for rice cultivation; terrain is essentially flat with long straight roads and limited elevation change and frequent winter fog. Land use is overwhelmingly agricultural with small woodlots and linear riparian vegetation along irrigation channels; flooded fields in spring and early summer create seasonal wetland conditions that attract waterbirds. No national or regional park, notable mountains or lakes lie inside a 15 km radius; the nearest urban centre (Vercelli) provides rail connections and basic services to larger cities (Turin, Milan).
