At €65,000 plus an estimated €22,000 renovation allowance, the effective cost is about €791/m², well above the €345/m² level typical for comparable homes in the area. The house is described as habitable and has independent heating, a garage, and a balcony, but the asking price leaves little margin.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable 110 m² home with a sunny balcony, private garden space, garage, working kitchen, and comfortable furnished interiors. It has a warm lived-in character rather than spectacular architecture or views, and the exterior and ancillary spaces would benefit from refreshment.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 habitable but appears dated, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The garage/outbuilding and some exterior surfaces show wear and damp-looking discoloration.
- No notable landscape or town views are visible; the setting is a compact residential neighborhood.
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 67/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Cottian Alps, in the lower Val Lemina between wooded slopes and the plain around Pinerolo. The Lemina torrent runs through the valley. The nearest town of size is Pinerolo, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links toward Turin. The first Alpine valleys of the Pinerolese are close by, with ski areas in the upper Chisone valley around Pragelato and Sestriere reached by a mountain drive of roughly an hour or more. This part of western Piemonte is known for the transition from plain to Alpine foothills and for the Waldensian valleys nearby.
