What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €66,000 for 200 sqm the ask is €330/sqm, but with a typical needs-renovation budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,030/sqm. That is far above the local baseline of €353/sqm for similar sub-€100k stock, despite positives like garage, garden, heating and 26 photos.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, livable house: large, bright, furnished, with kitchens, bathrooms, heating and decent overall upkeep across multiple floors. The exterior has some charm with its arcades and period massing, but the interiors are ordinary and dated, so the wow comes more from size and value than from 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€40,000 – €70,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Interiors are fully usable but quite plain and dated rather than dream-home beautiful.
- The listing says 'needs renovation', so expect refresh/upgrade work despite the solid condition shown.
- No meaningful view is visible from the photos.
- Outdoor space shown is limited in charm; the private garden is not clearly presented.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Biellese at the foot of the Biellese Alps. The Cervo valley and the first Alpine ridges are within this radius, with Oropa above Biella on the mountain side. The Santuario di Oropa and the Sacri Monti complex are within reach of the town and Oropa is part of the UNESCO-listed Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy. The Oasi Zegna lies in the upper Biellese mountains, with forested slopes and panoramic roads, though its main area is beyond the immediate radius. The nearest town of size is Biella, which has full services, a historic centre and the textile-manufacturing identity for which the area is known. The area is known for wool and textile production, prealpine valleys and the Oropa sanctuary landscape.
