What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 203 sqm, the ask is only €369/sqm, but the home is described as completely to restore ('completamente da riattare'), so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation; effective cost is roughly €1,469/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €353/sqm. Good photo coverage and no legal red flags help, but the heavy renovation need and reliance on renders make this weak value unless you specifically want a major project.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, very cheap Piedmont townhouse with useful courtyard space and a substantial covered upper volume that could be developed. But the current reality is a full renovation project: some rooms are enclosed and roofed, yet finishes are tired, damaged, and only partly usable as a home today. It has potential rather than immediate dream-home wow.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€81,000 – €119,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 56/100The area sits on the eastern Piedmont plain between the Dora Baltea and the rice lands of the Vercelli plain. The Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Aosta glacier, begins a short distance to the north-west and gives the nearest distinct landform within this radius. Vercelli is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. This part of the province is known for rice cultivation and irrigation canals.
