See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €59,000 asking price is low, the farmhouse is sold in a raw unfinished state and likely requires about €242,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,368/m² versus a local benchmark of €265/m². The buildable courtyard, garage and terraces add potential, but the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This Piemonte farmhouse has genuine character, with exposed brick, large timber-and-tile roofs, arched loggias, a fireplace, and a generous fruit-tree garden. However, it is clearly a raw renovation project rather than a usable home, with unfinished floors, exposed masonry, and no visible completed services.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€87,000 – €129,000
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 property is explicitly sold as a raw shell requiring substantial renovation before it can be lived in.
- No finished kitchen or bathroom is shown; utilities, insulation, heating, and compliance need verification.
- The roof structure appears present, but its condition and the structural state of the old masonry require professional inspection.
- The large courtyard is described as buildable, but development potential depends on planning approval.
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 39/100This is the flat Vercelli plain, with rice fields, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Po runs nearby to the south, and the Sesia is also close on the west side of this part of the province. The nearest town of size is Vercelli, which has a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for risicoltura, especially rice cultivation across the paddies of eastern Piemonte.
