What it really costs

Not before the basics are done

Priced at €150/m² vs regional median €351/m², roughly 57% below baseline — a strong discount. Mixed-use townhouse (two ground-floor shops + large first-floor apartment + convertible attic + three cellars) in a central location, fresh listing (6 days). Habitable apartment already described with rooms/baths, so livable, though condition is 'Needs renovation' (built 1900) implying meaningful work. Note contradiction: listing header states 500 m² but description says 300 m² — this materially affects the €/m² math and warrants verification. Renovation ~€400/m² given full modernization needs on an old multi-level building. Overall a solid deal with good upside (potential to split into multiple units), discounted by the size discrepancy and unclear energy class.
More on the house and the area
A three-level corner townhouse (c.1900) in the center of Borgo d'Ale, Piemonte, priced at €75k. The main draws are the historic characterarvaulted plaster ceilings visible in several rooms, decorative cement tile floors, wrought-iron balconies, and a stained-glass stairwell landing. The first-floor salon has a pleasant view over the church of San Michele Arcangelo. However, the exterior is tired (peeling ochre plaster, roller shutters), interiors are heavily dated, and the property needs full renovation. The very low €150/m² is attractive but reflects the scale of work required and mixed commercial/residential layout. Charming bones but no jaw-dropping single feature.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€58,000 – €98,000
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Canavese area on the edge of the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea, with low glacial hills, fields and small woods around the villages. Lago di Viverone is within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest substantial town, with full services and its UNESCO-listed 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for wine from the Canavese hills and for the line of morainic ridges left by the ancient Balteo glacier.
