Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €63,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €175/m², but the attic and parts of the second floor are rustic, heating is currently by stoves, and the 360 m² size creates substantial upgrade costs. Allowing roughly €450/m² for the mixed condition gives an effective cost near €625/m², well above the €335/m² local benchmark, despite the good roof, garages, garden, and proximity to services.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic mountain home with stone façades, traditional shutters, long balconies, a terraced garden and genuinely impressive Alpine views. The house is a real, usable multi-unit residence with furnished living areas, bathrooms, garages and a sound renewed roof, though it is dated and includes unfinished rustic spaces.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€42,000 – €70,000
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.
- Interiors are very dated and would need cosmetic modernization.
- The upper floor and attic areas are partly rustic/unfinished.
- Heating is currently by stoves, with gas connection only prepared; exterior shows weathering and damp staining.
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 77/100The Biellese Prealps rise immediately north of Biella, with Monte Mucrone and the Oropa basin within about 10 km. The Oropa stream valley runs into the town, and the area sits between the first Alpine slopes and the edge of the rice plain toward Vercelli. The Sacro Monte di Oropa and the Sanctuary of Oropa, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are within this radius above the town. The nearest ski area is Oropa, with small lifts about 15 minutes' drive from Biella. Biella itself is the main town of the area, with a historic upper town at Biella Piazzo and the services of a provincial capital. The area is known for the wool textile industry and for the Oropa pilgrimage route.
