What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly markets this as an 'asta giudiziaria' purchase, which is a veto red flag. Even though the asking price is low at €276/m² versus a €353/m² baseline, judicial auction status makes it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project: finished floors, bathrooms, kitchen space, heating and multiple rooms are all in place. The nicest touch is the vaulted brick kitchen/cellar area and the fireplace, which add some character, but overall the exterior setting is ordinary and the house feels more practical than dreamy. Good value for the size, yet not a true scroll-stopping Italian fantasy home.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Shared court/private road arrangement may limit privacy and exclusivity.
- Exterior and yard feel plain and a bit tired rather than picturesque.
- Interiors are habitable but dated and somewhat improvised in layout/finish.
- Auction sale: photos and property details may not be fully exhaustive.
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

Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and the Olivetti industrial city UNESCO site. The area is known for mixed farmland, small villages and the transition from the Po plain toward the Alpine valleys.
