In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€921/m²), this habitable 76 m² townhouse is substantially above the local sub-€100k benchmark of about €345/m²; allowing roughly €15,200 for ordinary updates puts the effective cost near €1,121/m². The independent heating, fireplace, balcony and furnishings add appeal, but not enough to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable rural townhouse with a colorful farmhouse exterior, balcony, private green space, wood-burning fireplace, and leafy hillside surroundings. The home is solid and equipped for immediate living, though the interiors are modest, dated, and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 and cluttered, with limited modern finishes.
- Bathrooms and kitchen appear functional rather than renovated.
- The outlook is green and rural, but includes neighboring buildings and utility areas.
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 53/100The cluster is on the first hills north-east of Turin, in the Po plain where it meets the lower slopes of the Torino hill country. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, and the area is tied to the river corridor between Chivasso and Turin. Superga and the wooded ridge of the Collina Torinese are nearby, with the Basilica di Superga on the hill above Turin. Chivasso is the nearest larger town for daily services, and Turin is close enough for the full range of rail links, hospitals, universities and major shopping. This part of the province is known for mixed farming, small hill settlements and commuter villages on the edge of the Turin metropolitan area.
