At €95,000 for 96 m², the effective cost is about €1,190/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home, versus a €345/m² local benchmark. The historic-center setting, autonomous heating, terrace, and 29 photos add appeal, but the price remains far above comparable stock.
More on the house and the area
A bright, well-kept townhouse with polished wood floors, a comfortable open living/dining area, a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, and attractive traditional woodwork. Its colorful historic-center streetscape adds character, but the setting is tightly urban and lacks the dramatic views or private garden that would push it into the dream-home range. It appears genuinely habitable rather than a renovation project.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Dense historic-center setting with narrow lanes and little visible private outdoor space.
- The exterior surroundings are attractive but there is no demonstrated panoramic view or countryside setting.
- Some finishes and furnishings are dated, though the home appears immediately usable.
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 43/100The area sits on the Canavese plain at the edge of the lower Po basin, with the Alps visible to the north and west and the first Canavese hills and morainic country farther toward Ivrea. The Malone stream runs through the commune, and the Orco valley and the Stura di Lanzo are nearby valley systems in the wider surroundings. Turin is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, rail links and major cultural institutions. The zone is known for mixed agriculture, logistics and industry along the Turin plain rather than for a singular landscape feature.
