What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling

This is explicitly a judicial auction ('data asta', 'aste giudiziarie'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The main house is described as habitable, but the listing also includes accessory/storage/agricultural outbuildings ('deposito agricolo', 'deposito attrezzi'), so despite the low €202/m² headline price it remains a trap for our criteria.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, genuinely usable townhouse rather than a romantic dream property. The main interior looks basically habitable with bathrooms, kitchen, heating and some wood-beam character upstairs, but the exterior and outbuildings are tired and unattractive. The small yard/garden adds practicality, yet the overall wow factor stays low.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Auction sale: occupancy/legal process may add risk and delay.
- Habitable main house, but several accessory structures look very rough and semi-derelict.
- Exterior is plain and a bit scruffy, with cluttered yard/garden areas.
- No proven views or standout location in the photos.
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 66/100The Canavese plain meets the first morainic hills of the Serra d'Ivrea here, the long glacial ridge that runs south of Ivrea. The Dora Baltea flows through the Ivrea area a few kilometres away. Lago Sirio and the other small glacial lakes around Ivrea are within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services and a substantial historic centre. Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for the 20th-century industrial city built by Olivetti. The area is known for the morainic landscape of the Canavese and for Ivrea's Olivetti heritage.
