At €34,000 (€206/m²), this habitable 165 m² townhouse with garage, heating, balcony and terrace is attractive upfront, but estimated works bring the effective cost to about €400/m² versus a €345/m² local benchmark. Its remote inland location limits the upside, though the property appears usable immediately.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably affordable, habitable 165 sqm townhouse with multiple balconies, a small green courtyard, garage and glimpses of the Canavese mountain landscape. It is a real liveable home rather than a renovation shell, but the interiors are plain and dated, while the exterior setting is charmingly rural rather than spectacular.
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 fully usable but dated, with old kitchens, bathrooms, finishes and furnishings.
- The house relies heavily on exterior stairs and open-access balconies, which may be less convenient year-round.
- The surrounding courtyard includes rustic storage/agricultural structures and offers limited privacy; verify their condition and ownership.
- Check the roof/skylight and all heating, plumbing and electrical systems before purchase.
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 62/100The cluster sits at the mouth of the Valle del Canavese under the Graian Alps. The Orco basin and the lower mountain valleys begin within a few kilometres, with ridges and wooded slopes around the settled floor. The nearest substantial town is Ciriè, which has rail links, shops and everyday services, and Turin is the main city for higher-order services farther away. This part of the Canavese is known for prealpine valleys, chestnut woods and small industrial and craft settlements along the valley routes.
