What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15,000 for 250 sqm, the asking price is just €60/sqm; with an estimated €800/sqm renovation, the effective cost is about €860/sqm, well above the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €351/sqm. The score stays solid because the entry price is extremely low and the property offers multiple buildings with flexible use, but it is a substantial renovation project and part of the space is currently commercial/deposito rather than clearly all residential.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, large period property with some old-town character, arched ceilings and a private courtyard complex that offers flexibility. But the wow factor is limited by the tired, utilitarian interiors and the clear need for renovation before it feels like a comfortable home. It is more of a big low-cost project with potential than an immediately dreamable Italian house.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€50,000 – €88,000
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.

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 61/100The area sits on the Canavese plain at the foot of the Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier. Lake Candia is within this radius, and the Dora Baltea runs nearby through the Ivrea plain. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full range of services and a well-preserved industrial city core linked to Olivetti; Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for the 20th-century industrial city. The area is known for mixed farming, vineyards on the morainic slopes, and the transition from the Po plain to the Aosta valley approaches.
