What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description clearly says 'da ristrutturare/da personalizzare', so I estimate about €700/m² renovation; effective cost is roughly €916/m² all-in (€58,000 + renovation on 268 m²), well above the low internal baseline of €318/m². The very low entry price (€216/m²) and large size are attractive, but without a habitable condition this is a solid renovation project rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real house with usable volume, a balcony and a full exterior presence, but it is not especially beautiful or scenic. It looks structurally standing and partly serviceable rather than a shell, yet the interiors are dated and several rooms show clear deterioration, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than an easy dream-home move-in.
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€53,000 – €94,000
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.
- Needs significant renovation and updating throughout.
- Visible ceiling/plaster damage and generally tired interiors.
- One bathroom appears in very poor condition.
- Outdoor space is mostly hardstanding courtyard rather than garden.
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 56/100The area sits on the eastern Piedmont plain between the Dora Baltea and the rice lands of the Vercelli plain. The Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Aosta glacier, begins a short distance to the north-west and gives the nearest distinct landform within this radius. Vercelli is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. This part of the province is known for rice cultivation and irrigation canals.
