What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 68 sqm townhouse at €59,000 implies about €1,068/m² effective cost including a light €200/m² refresh, versus a very low local baseline of €353/m². The listing looks coherent and includes 800 sqm buildable land plus terrace/garage potential, but on pure price it is well above this catalog’s local baseline, so only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little home, not a project: it has finished interiors, kitchen, bathroom, covered terrace and a good amount of private green space. The strongest appeal is the peaceful wooded garden setting and the low price, while the house itself is simple and dated rather than visually striking. Charming and livable, but more modest retreat than dream-home showstopper.
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€5,000 – €7,000
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.
- Studio-like layout with just one main room
- Interior is dated and fairly plain rather than characterful
- Wooded setting limits any open panoramic view
- Heating appears to rely mainly on a pellet stove
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.
