What it really costs

The listing is explicitly an auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the asking price is €415/m² for 176 m², auction risk overrides price attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a practical, low-cost townhouse-style villa in a green residential setting, but there is little proven visual wow from the provided image. It appears potentially livable rather than a ruin, which helps the score, yet there is no clear evidence of views, historic character, or striking interiors. The appeal here is value and usability more than dream-home beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Main image is heavily branded and does not clearly show the property
- Auction sale: listing details and condition should be verified in court documents
- No bathroom shown in the facts despite description mentioning one
- Likely a functional 1980s row villa rather than a character 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.
