In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is marked Renovated, but the description says it is sold al grezzo, so it needs major finishing work; I estimate about €700/m² renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,175/m². Against a low-stock baseline of €350/m² for Piemonte townhouses, this is far above ordinary value, with no strong location premium to justify it.
More on the house and the area
From the outside it looks like a handsome, substantial home with a neat private garden and calm village setting, and the price per square metre is very attractive. But the real interior condition is a raw shell: exposed brick, unfinished rooms and incomplete services, so this is still a major project rather than a home you could live in now. The beauty is more potential than present reality.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Sold al grezzo: interiors are unfinished and not move-in ready.
- Needs full fit-out of floors, bathrooms, kitchen and finishes.
- Some visible damp/water damage in at least one bathroom area.
- AI-staged photos may overstate the final atmosphere.
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.

Location score 38/100This is the flat rice-growing plain between Novara and the lower Sesia, with a network of irrigation canals and cultivated fields across the immediate area. The Ticino Valley and Parco del Ticino lie to the east, with the river forming the main natural feature within reach.
