What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
140sqm townhouse at 536 EUR/m2, above the regional median of 351 but justified by usable habitable space (3 rooms, 2 beds, 2 baths) plus garage, cellar, balcony, private courtyard and garden. Fresh listing (2 days), 26 photos, and an additional recoverable building portion adds upside for a second dwelling. Condition 'Needs renovation' on a 1950 build means budget ~600 EUR/m2 for full works, pushing all-in near 700 EUR/m2 - still reasonable. Missing energy class and sea distance are minor gaps. Solid opportunity for a buyer willing to renovate, though not a giveaway relative to local median.
More on the house and the area
Standard lived-in townhouse interior with dated tiled floors, colored accent walls (red, blue, yellow, purple) and ordinary furnishings. Kitchen is functional but basic; bathrooms are worn. No stunning features, views, or historic character visible in photos. The main appeal is functional space and expansion potential (second dwelling portion) plus a very low per-sqm price, but the images themselves show nothing scroll-stopping.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €49,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 38/100This is the flat rice plain of the Vercelli area, part of the eastern Piedmont lowlands between the Po and Sesia rivers. The Sesia runs a few kilometres west of Lignana, and the landscape around the village is dominated by irrigated fields, canals, farmsteads and straight local roads. Vercelli is the nearest town of size and has a historic centre, the basilica of Sant’Andrea and the rice-trading role the area is known for. The area is known above all for risicoltura, with large paddy fields that define the surroundings in season.
