What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 221 sqm, the asking price is just €430/sqm, but assuming a typical renovation need of about €700/sqm for a large customizable semi-detached house, the effective cost is about €1,130/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €352/sqm. The size, 30 photos, garden/pool/terrace and quiet green setting help, but on numbers alone this is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, real, usable home with balconies, a small garden/veg plot, and pleasant mountain views. The house looks structurally solid and lived-in, with kitchens, bathrooms and finished rooms, but the style is dated and some exterior/service areas need tidying or upgrading. At the price for 221 sqm, it has strong practical appeal more than pure romance.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €78,000
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.
- Busy roadside position reduces the dreaminess.
- Outdoor spaces are modest and practical rather than spectacular.
- Some roof/outbuilding elements look patchy and should be checked.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Val Sangone at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with wooded lower slopes rising quickly west of the town. The Sangone stream runs through the valley. The Natural Park of Monte San Giorgio lies by Giaveno, and the Sacra di San Michele on Monte Pirchiriano is within the surrounding area and is one of the main historic landmarks of the lower Susa-Val Sangone hills. The nearest substantial town is Avigliana, with lakes and a medieval centre; Turin is the main city for services and work. This part of the province is known for prealpine valley landscapes, chestnut woods, and access to hiking into the lower Alps.
