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
Habitable 220 sqm townhouse priced at €85,000 needs an estimated light refresh of about €200/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €586/sqm versus a local baseline of €353/sqm. The score stays in the good range because the house is large, well-documented (72 photos), and includes garage/cellar/accessories and private outdoor space, but on pure price-plus-works it is not a discount to baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, clearly habitable townhouse with a private courtyard, portico and plenty of usable space, so it feels like a real home rather than a project. The rooms are solid and livable, with wood floors, fireplaces and decent light, but the overall look is quite dated and only mildly characterful. At €85k for 220 sqm, the value is strong, yet the beauty factor is more practical than dreamily photogenic.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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 dated and need cosmetic updating, especially the kitchen and bathrooms.
- No real view or standout setting is shown in the photos.
- Exterior charm is modest from the street; wow comes more from size and usability than beauty.
- Outbuildings/attic areas may need review for condition and practical use.
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 63/100The cluster is in the Serra morenica di Ivrea, the long glacial ridge that runs across this part of southern Biella and Canavese. The Dora Baltea plain and the Ivrea area are close to the south, and the first Biellese pre-Alps rise to the north. The nearest larger town is Biella, with the provincial services, shops and rail connections. Ivrea is also nearby, with a larger historic centre and the UNESCO-listed industrial city of Olivetti. This area is known for morainic hills, woodland, small vineyards and mixed farming.
