What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE', so this is a judicial auction, which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the asking price is €502/m² and the home is marked habitable, auction status overrides pricing attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
This is a decent-sized edge-of-village house with some openness onto fields and a usable suburban setting. But the photos show a very plain 1980s villa with bare, incomplete interiors and signs of moisture, so it feels more like a work-in-progress than a ready dream home. The low price helps, yet the wow is limited because condition and character are both modest.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 appear unfinished or stripped, with no fitted kitchen and no complete bathroom shown.
- Visible damp/staining on walls suggests remedial work before comfortable living.
- No attractive views or standout architectural character are evident from the photos.
- Auction sale and shared ownership of part of the access road may add practical/legal complexity.
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

The Po runs nearby to the south, and the Sesia is also close on the west side of this part of the province. The nearest town of size is Vercelli, which has a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for risicoltura, especially rice cultivation across the paddies of eastern Piemonte.
