The €10,433 asking figure is exceptionally low at about €70/m² for a 150 m² house, but this is a judicial auction rather than a normal purchase, with bidding and legal/procedural risks. The listing also gives inconsistent bathroom information and does not state the property's condition, so renovation exposure is unclear.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, independent 150 m² village house with a dramatic low price, brick detailing, timber roof structure, balcony, cellar, and multiple levels. However, the interiors are dated and visibly tired, with damp marks and a rough attic; it looks like a usable but decidedly non-dreamy home needing meaningful renovation rather than a move-in-ready bargain.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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 legal and procedural due diligence required.
- Visible damp/staining, worn finishes, and a rough attic/storage level suggest substantial updating.
- Photos are partly indicative and do not clearly prove the full condition, utilities, or kitchen fit-out.
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 57/100The cluster sits in the low hills between the Biellese and the Sesia plain, in a farmed landscape of woods, fields and vineyards. The nearest named mountain backdrop is the Biellese pre-Alps to the north, but the village itself is outside the main alpine valleys. The area is known for the Bramaterra wine zone, with nebbiolo-based vineyards around Brusnengo, Masserano and Lessona. Masserano, a small historic town with a castle complex and old centre, is nearby. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre.
