At €99,000 (€134/m²), the price looks low, but restoring 740 m² could bring the effective cost above €800/m², far above the local comparison level of €196/m². The building includes multiple flats, storage areas, and a former shop, so this is a large, complex redevelopment rather than a straightforward home; its proximity to the center and station is a modest positive.
More on the house and the area
This is a remarkably large early-20th-century palazzo with mountain surroundings, balconies and a private garden, giving it genuine character and redevelopment potential. It is not a move-in home: the interiors are empty and basic, while the building-wide restoration requirement and multiple-unit layout make this a major project rather than a lightly refreshable residence.
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€147,000 – €260,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The entire four-storey building has been unused for years and requires substantial renovation.
- No kitchens are shown, and the bathrooms/utilities and heating systems should be verified for every unit.
- The roof, balconies, masonry, wiring and plumbing need technical inspection before purchase.
- Managing multiple apartments, a former bakery/shop and basement spaces will make the project complex.
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 68/100The 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.
