What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 239 sqm, the asking price is €414/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €350/sqm in Piemonte; with a moderate renovation estimate of about €450/sqm due to the unfinished attic and rustic farmhouse portion, the effective cost is roughly €864/sqm. Good size, independent entrance, parking and small flat land help, but on numbers alone it is not a clear bargain versus this already-low baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with generous rooms, some period character in the floors, doors and stair hall, plus a balcony and small flat yard. The condition is broadly move-in habitable, but the look is modest and dated rather than dreamy, and the top floor remains an unfinished project. Good value for the size, though the wow is more practical than spectacular.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €47,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large house.
- Top-floor attic is still raw/unfinished.
- Exterior/courtyard setting is functional rather than picturesque.
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.
