See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€474/m²), the house is already above the local sub-€100k median of €337/m²; allowing roughly €700/m² for the unspecified but clearly customizable renovation puts the effective cost near €1,174/m². Heating and double glazing are positives, but the listing does not state the condition and the price is weak even with the garden, garage and outbuildings.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, clean, independent home with attractive new-looking floors, windows, radiators and generous living space. Its strongest feature is the very large private garden and yard, with substantial workshop/storage potential, though the surrounding architecture is ordinary and the property lacks a scenic view or historic character.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €34,000
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 kitchen is not shown and may need to be installed or completed.
- The large adjacent workshop/storage buildings and paved yard make the setting practical rather than picturesque.
- Bathroom condition and full utility status are not clearly demonstrated in the gallery.
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 58/100The area sits in the eastern Biella foothills, with the Biellese Prealps closing the northern horizon and lower wooded and farmed hills around the town. The Cervo valley and the mountain side of the province begin within a short drive to the north, while the plain opens south toward the rice country of the Vercelli-Novara lowlands. Biella is the nearest town of size, with the province’s main services, railway station and historic upper town of Biella Piazzo. The Santuario di Oropa and the Oasi Zegna mountain road and high pastures are in the Biella mountains but beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known above all for the long textile tradition of the Biellese.
