What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Townhouse needs full renovation (photos are illustrative renderings, not actual state). At €878/m2 it's 2.5x the regional median of €350/m2, and that baseline mixes broad Piemonte, so real Galliate comps may differ. A 90m2 gut reno at ~€600/m2 adds ~€54k, pushing total to ~€133k for a fully renovated 1960 townhouse—plausible but leaves little upside. Positives: independent house, garden, parking, attic conversion potential, garage/heating. No energy class listed. Fresh listing (1 day). Fair asking-to-value but the renovation burden and premium over baseline make it more of a personalization project than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Townhouse on two levels in Galliate needing full renovation, listed at €79k (878 €/m2). Every interior image is explicitly a CGI staging/rendering, not the current condition, so the polished Scandinavian-style interiors and landscaped courtyards are aspirational only. Real assets: small private garden, parking spot, attic conversion potential. The low price relative to size (90 sqm) gives modest bargain appeal, but the exterior is a plain 1960s townhouse on an unremarkable street and no genuine wow feature (view, historic character, exterior beauty) is present in real footage. Nothing here would stop a scroll once you realize the interiors are renders.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 46/100The cluster lies in the flat western Po plain between the Ticino valley and the rice country of eastern Novara. The Ticino River and the Parco del Ticino are within reach to the east, with riverside woods, canals and farmland. Novara is the nearest city of size, with a substantial historic centre and services; Milan is also part of everyday gravity from this area but does not change the landscape. The area is known for rice fields and irrigated plain agriculture.
