What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Price is €49,000 for 283 sqm (€173/sqm); assuming about €250/sqm for a mostly habitable house with a roof recently redone but a mansarda to renovate, effective cost is about €423/sqm. That is only moderately above this low stock baseline of €322/sqm in Piemonte, but the very large size, independent layout, private courtyard/garden, and 28 photos make it a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, genuinely usable village house with a handsome old exterior, private courtyard and some outdoor space. The main floors look habitable with bathroom, heating and finished rooms, but several interiors are bland and scruffy, and the attic level is still a renovation project. At €49k for 283 sqm, the value is strong even if the wow is more practical than romantic.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Interiors are very plain and partly unfinished.
- Top-floor mansarda needs renovation before real use.
- Some rooms show patching/damp-related marks and cosmetic wear.
- Courtyard/garden are functional rather than especially scenic.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
