At €255/m², the asking price is below the local €336/m² benchmark, but the listing does not say whether the house is habitable or renovated. Given the large rural property with a barn and several storage buildings, allowing about €700/m² for works brings the effective cost to roughly €955/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial independent Piedmontese home with an attractive old façade, ornate balcony railings, multiple bedrooms, and a functioning kitchen and bathrooms. It appears usable as a real home, but the interiors are dated and cluttered, while the extensive barns, storage areas, and hayloft need serious repair. The low price is compelling for the space, three garages, and outbuildings, though it is more practical than dreamlike.
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€46,000 – €81,000
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 main house appears habitable but very dated, heavily furnished, and in need of cosmetic modernization.
- Several accessory buildings and the hayloft show significant deterioration, including aging or damaged roofs.
- No notable landscape, mountain, or village view is shown 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 34/100The cluster sits on the low-lying Po Valley (pianura Padana) with flat terrain across the immediate 15 km. Agriculture dominates the landscape inside that radius, with extensive rice paddies and an irrigation network typical of the Vercelli province. The plain is crossed by canals and small watercourses used for irrigation; there is no mountain range or large lake within the 15 km area. There are no national or regional parks inside the immediate plain. Nearest larger urban centres for higher-level services are the city of Vercelli and towns such as Chivasso and Casale Monferrato, which lie beyond the immediate plain. The area is part of the Vercelli rice district and is known locally for rice production (Carnaroli/Arborio varieties) and the seasonal cycle of flooded fields.
