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 €98,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €980/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective level is ~€1,180/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €351/sqm, so this is not a discount deal. Positives are 2 baths, garage, terraces and updated PVC windows, but 0 photos and the odd claim of being 'entirely renovated in 1983' make the presentation weaker and less convincing.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
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 66/100The Canavese plain meets the first morainic hills of the Serra d'Ivrea here, the long glacial ridge that runs south of Ivrea. The Dora Baltea flows through the Ivrea area a few kilometres away. Lago Sirio and the other small glacial lakes around Ivrea are within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services and a substantial historic centre. Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for the 20th-century industrial city built by Olivetti. The area is known for the morainic landscape of the Canavese and for Ivrea's Olivetti heritage.
