What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 220 sqm, the ask is just €205/sqm versus a €472/sqm local baseline, a strong discount. But the text stresses the house can be 'personalized' and gives no evidence of recent renovation, so I priced it as a renovation project at about €700/sqm; that keeps it attractive for its size and central position, but not an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, real house in clearly usable condition, with kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and solid finishes already in place. The corner-townhouse exterior has some presence, and at €45k for 220 sqm the value is striking. But the interiors are very ordinary and dated, with little historic charm or scenic setting, so the dream factor is moderate rather than strong.
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 – €77,000
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 plain and dated rather than characterful.
- Facade shows wear and would benefit from exterior refresh.
- No meaningful view, garden, or landscape element shown.
- Likely needs modernization to feel truly appealing as a home.
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 52/100This is the flat edge of the Biellese and Canavese plain, with rice fields, canals and low farmland; the Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge lies nearby and is the main landform within reach. Lake Viverone is within the local area. Ivrea is the nearest larger town of note, with services and a historic centre, and Biella is also nearby with the usual provincial-town services. The area is known mainly for agriculture, especially rice-growing on the plain.
