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
Detached townhouse at €180/m2 vs regional median €350/m2 is roughly half the baseline, a strong entry price. 217 m2 with garage, garden, cellar, balcony and fresh listing (1 day) with 17 photos. Needs full renovation (~€700/m2 given 'da ristrutturare' with multiple personalization needs), so total ~€39k + ~€150k reno = ~€190k for a large detached home, still reasonable. Missing building year and energy class limit assessment. Solid value but rural Lignana location caps resale upside.
More on the house and the area
Large 217sqm two-sided townhouse in rural Lignana at just €180/m² (€39k). Some vaulted ceilings and an old bar counter room add mild historic character, and there's a private courtyard, garden and garage. However most spaces are dated, cluttered and clearly need full renovation, with damp stains and ceiling damage. The low price and generous size give a modest bargain appeal, but nothing visually striking. Ordinary overall.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€43,000 – €76,000
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.
