What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction with an €18,990 minimum bid, so the price is not a normal purchase price and the final cost is uncertain. The listing does not state the condition, bathrooms beyond the basic layout, or likely renovation scope; despite the low €110/m² asking figure, auction and due-diligence risks make it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely substantial townhouse with balconies, a small fenced green area, and a very low asking price for 172 sqm. The main house appears lived-in and functional, but the interiors are dated and heavily cluttered, while the extra rustic structures are rough and utilitarian rather than attractive.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €60,000
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 purchase with possible legal, occupancy, and additional-cost risks.
- The main house appears usable but dated, cluttered, and in need of modernization.
- The attached rustic building and attic/storage areas look rough and may require substantial repairs.
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 77/100The Biellese Prealps rise immediately north of Biella, with Monte Mucrone and the Oropa basin within about 10 km. The Oropa stream valley runs into the town, and the area sits between the first Alpine slopes and the edge of the rice plain toward Vercelli. The Sacro Monte di Oropa and the Sanctuary of Oropa, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are within this radius above the town. The nearest ski area is Oropa, with small lifts about 15 minutes' drive from Biella. Biella itself is the main town of the area, with a historic upper town at Biella Piazzo and the services of a provincial capital. The area is known for the wool textile industry and for the Oropa pilgrimage route.
