What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 203 sqm, the ask is just €369/sqm, but the description suggests a property to customize rather than move-in ready, so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,069/sqm. That is well above the low internal baseline of €353/sqm for Piemonte townhouses, but the large size, central position near town center, and strong photo coverage make it a solid renovation project rather than a bargain buy.
More on the house and the area
This has the scale and bones of an old Piedmontese house, with a big courtyard facade and some vintage character in the furniture, proportions, and fireplace. But it is clearly not move-in ready: several rooms show heavy neglect, damp and peeling finishes, and part of the building is still raw/open. At €75k for 203 sqm it has project appeal, yet the real wow is limited because it feels more like a renovation job than a beautiful home you could soon live in.
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€40,000 – €71,000
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.
- Major renovation needed before comfortable living
- Large unfinished/open upper section suggests structural and enclosure work
- Visible damp, peeling plaster, and dated interiors
- Only one bathroom shown and kitchen is not really usable as-is
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.
