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
At €99,000 for 239 sqm, the ask is about €414/sqm; assuming a habitable home at roughly €200/sqm refresh cost, the effective cost is about €614/sqm versus a €350/sqm local baseline, so it is not cheap on a like-for-like basis. Positives are independent entrance, heating, services connected, garage/balcony and 18 photos; the recoverable attic adds upside but does not offset the above-baseline effective price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with large rooms, some pleasing old-house touches, and a long balcony overlooking a courtyard and garden area. The main living floors look solid and move-in habitable, though styling is dated rather than dreamy. The unfinished attic adds potential, but it is still a renovation project, so the wow comes more from size and value than from beauty alone.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€16,000 – €27,000
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 habitable but dated and fairly plain.
- Top floor attic is raw and would need full renovation to become living space.
- Exterior/common farmhouse frontage is functional rather than pretty.
- No real open view beyond courtyard and rooftops.
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.
The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo on the first Alpine slopes north-west of Turin, with wooded ridges and side valleys rising toward the Graian Alps. The Stura di Lanzo valley system is the main physical feature of the area. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and rail links toward Turin. Turin is the main city for higher-level services and work, but it lies outside the local 15 km landscape. The area is known for its pre-Alpine valley setting and for access farther up the Lanzo valleys toward higher mountain country.
