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 €50,000 for 105 sqm, the ask is €476/sqm; with about €300/sqm to finish the first-floor rough room and update a basically habitable 1980 house, the effective cost is roughly €776/sqm. That sits well above this catalog’s Piemonte townhouse baseline of €353/sqm, so despite the private courtyard, double garage and decent photo set, it looks more ordinary than cheap.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom spaces and heating are all in place, so it looks habitable with moderate updating. The nicest wow comes from the vaulted living room with fireplace and the generous private courtyard with rustic outbuilding. It has character and strong value at the price, but not the kind of setting or finish that makes it a true dream-home scroll stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- One upstairs room is unfinished/raw and needs completion.
- Courtyard and outbuildings feel neglected and need tidying/refreshing.
- No real scenic view; setting is more practical village courtyard than dreamy panorama.
- Upper ancillary/barn spaces appear rustic and may need significant work if you want to use them fully.
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.
