What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listing
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Why this price is what it is

At €13,000 for 40 sqm, the ask is €325/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €262/sqm, but the real issue is the heavy works: the description says da ristrutturare, no internal bathroom, no boiler/heating, utilities present but not connected, and the two rooms are on separate levels without internal connection. Using about €1,100/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €1,425/sqm, so this is cheap to buy but only a fair deal as a difficult restoration project.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a very cheap village property, but it does not deliver much visual wow in either setting or interiors. It is a basic, worn two-room house with separate access between floors, no bathroom inside, and clear need for substantial renovation before it could function as a real home.

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Needs full renovation and utilities are currently disconnected
  • No internal bathroom, boiler, or heating system
  • The two rooms are on separate levels with no internal connection
  • Exterior balconies/roof elements look worn and may need structural attention

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 68/100

The cluster is in the Valli di Lanzo on the first Alpine slopes north-west of Turin, with wooded ridges and side valleys rising toward the Graian Alps. The Stura di Lanzo valley system is the main physical feature of the area. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and rail links toward Turin. Turin is the main city for higher-level services and work, but it lies outside the local 15 km landscape. The area is known for its pre-Alpine valley setting and for access farther up the Lanzo valleys toward higher mountain country.
