At €79,000 for 160 m² (€494/m²), the asking price is already well above comparable local homes; allowing roughly €32,000 for habitable-condition work brings the effective cost to about €694/m² versus a €345/m² benchmark. A new roof, solar panels, garage and fireplace are useful positives, but they do not offset the substantial premium.
More on the house and the area
A generous, genuinely habitable townhouse with a charming Italian courtyard, sunny yellow facade, arches, vaulted ceilings, stone floors, balconies, and a strong sense of character. The rooms are furnished and functional rather than refined, but the new roof, solar panels, heating, garage, and cellar make this a real move-in home rather than a renovation project. At €79,000 for 160 sqm, it has convincing bargain appeal.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 well maintained but quite dated and may benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 160 sqm home.
- No energy class or detailed utility information is provided.
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 52/100Mercenasco sits in the Canavese plain between Ivrea and the lower Alpine foothills. The Dora Baltea runs through this part of the province, with irrigated fields, canals and scattered villages across a flat agricultural landscape. Ivrea is the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic centre and the industrial heritage linked to Olivetti, part of the UNESCO listing "Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century." Toward the north and west the Alps close the horizon, but the main mountain valleys and ski lifts are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This area is known locally for Canavese agriculture and for its position on the plain below the morainic hills of Ivrea.
