See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€576/m²), the house appears to need substantial renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €1276/m²—well above the local €356/m² benchmark. Its central location and parking help, but the listing does not state the condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This central Corio townhouse has a charming traditional exterior, balconies, mountain-town character and impressive exposed brick vaults inside. However, the interior is currently a substantial renovation site with unfinished floors, exposed walls, ladders and construction debris, so it is not a realistically livable home yet. Its character is promising, but the renovation burden keeps it in the project rather than dream-home range.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Major renovation required: interiors are stripped, dusty and largely without finished floors or usable rooms.
- Bathroom and kitchen are not shown as functional; utilities and systems will need verification or replacement.
- Some ceiling openings, exposed masonry and structural-looking alterations require professional inspection.
- The rear garden is heavily overgrown and the property is tightly surrounded by neighboring buildings.
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 lies on the edge of the Lanzo Valleys with the first Graian Alps visible and close to the north-west. The Stura di Lanzo runs nearby and shapes the flat valley floor and wooded river margins. La Mandria Regional Park is nearby, with enclosed woodland, former royal estate land and long cycling and walking routes. Turin is the nearest large city, with full services, rail connections, major hospitals, universities and an international airport in the metro area. The area is known for the transition from the Turin plain to the lower Alpine valleys and for the historic Savoy royal estates west and north-west of Turin.
