What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly 'da ristrutturare', so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation; that puts the effective cost around €1,333/m² all-in (€20,000 + works on 86 m²). The ask is extremely low at €233/m² versus a €353/m² local baseline, and it is close to the center with 14 photos and no obvious legal red flags, which keeps it in diamond territory despite the heavy renovation.
More on the house and the area
The mountain backdrop, vines and little outdoor area give it some rustic Piedmont charm, especially for the price. But the house itself reads as a worn semi-detached renovation project rather than a usable home today, with very rough exterior condition and no proven livable interiors. The render shows potential, not current reality.
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€34,000 – €50,000
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.
- Full renovation project; not currently a ready-to-live home
- Shared courtyard/corte comune reduces privacy
- Exterior shows aging masonry, rough finishes and likely structural/updating needs
- No interior photos to prove bathroom, kitchen or habitable condition
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 71/100The cluster is in the Val Sangone at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with wooded lower slopes rising quickly west of the town. The Sangone stream runs through the valley. The Natural Park of Monte San Giorgio lies by Giaveno, and the Sacra di San Michele on Monte Pirchiriano is within the surrounding area and is one of the main historic landmarks of the lower Susa-Val Sangone hills. The nearest substantial town is Avigliana, with lakes and a medieval centre; Turin is the main city for services and work. This part of the province is known for prealpine valley landscapes, chestnut woods, and access to hiking into the lower Alps.
