What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 120 sqm, the ask is €575/sqm, but with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,275/sqm. Against a low-stock baseline of €350/sqm for Piemonte townhouses, this is far above ordinary value despite the central historic location, good roof, utilities, and 34 photos.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable old-town house rather than a ruin: roof, floors, kitchen, bathrooms and services are all present. The appeal is mostly practical and budget-driven, with modest historic character and a small private courtyard, but the visuals are quite tired and not especially dream-home beautiful. It feels livable after serious refreshing, not instantly aspirational.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.

- interiors are dated and need full cosmetic renovation
- courtyard and exterior areas need clearing and tidying
- some ancillary spaces look cluttered and rough
- shared court setting reduces privacy and charm

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is on the edge of the Lanzo Valleys, with the Graian Alps closing the view to the northwest. The Stura di Lanzo runs through this part of the plain. The nearest substantial town is Turin, which provides the full range of city services and major rail links. The lower Lanzo valleys are known for their mountain backdrop and for being the access route toward the Valli di Lanzo resorts and hiking areas farther up valley.
