What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is €333/sqm; described as partially renovated, in good structural condition and habitable now, so I estimate light works at about €200/sqm, giving an effective €533/sqm. That is above this catalog’s Piemonte townhouse baseline of €353/sqm, but the large size, central quiet location, parking/cellar and immediate habitability keep it in the good range rather than fair.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and a small sunny garden, so it feels livable now rather than like a shell. The vaulted brick ceiling in the living area adds genuine character, but most of the house is quite ordinary and partially updated rather than truly beautiful. At €50k for 150 sqm it has solid bargain appeal, with charm more than wow.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Partially renovated rather than fully finished
- Some interiors are plain and a bit dated
- Open outbuilding/garage looks rough and unfinished
- No real view or standout setting shown
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 61/100The area sits on the eastern edge of the Canavese and Vercelli plain, with low morainic hills around the Serra d'Ivrea not far to the north. Lake Viverone is within about 10 km. The nearest larger town is Ivrea, which has services, a railway station and an industrial and historic centre; Vercelli is the other main reference town on the plain. The area is known for rice country on the plain and for the vineyard-and-lake landscape around Viverone and the morainic amphitheatre of Ivrea. Ivrea and the 19th-century Olivetti industrial city are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but the town itself is just beyond the 15 km landscape radius.
