What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 160 sqm, the asking price is €619/sqm, but the house is 'da ultimare' with major works still needed despite the roof and damp-prevention works already done; I estimate about €700/sqm to finish it. That puts the effective cost around €1,319/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €352/sqm in Piemonte townhouses, so this looks weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has a decent rural-green setting, a large plot, and a solid roofed structure, so it feels like a real property rather than a ruin. But the photos show a house still in raw, unfinished condition with bare interiors and major work needed before it becomes comfortably livable. The wow is more about potential and price-per-square-meter than immediate beauty.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- House is unfinished and not move-in ready
- Raw interiors need full fit-out including kitchen and bathrooms
- Exterior/grounds are overgrown and need substantial cleanup
- Semi-detached rural setting with nearby neighbors and utility poles
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 49/100The cluster sits in the flat to gently rolling countryside east of Turin, in the transition between the Po plain and the first hills toward the Monferrato and the Collina di Torino. The Po and the main Turin urban rivers are outside the immediate area, but the local landscape is shaped by fields, small roads, drainage channels and scattered villages rather than by a major water feature. Chieri is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links toward Turin. Turin is close enough to matter for work and daily services, but it does not raise the landscape score. This part of the province is known for arable farming and for the edge of the Chieri hill country.
