At €422/m², the €38,000 asking price is already above the local €356/m² benchmark, and the property is currently artisan-use rather than residential. Allowing roughly €108,000 for a full conversion and renovation puts the effective cost near €1,622/m², with planning approval and the required change of use still to be confirmed.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, bright and fully roofed townhouse in a traditional Piemonte village, with shutters, balconies, an arched entrance and a church dome visible nearby. However, the entire interior is currently a well-equipped textile workshop rather than a livable residence, so the appeal depends on successfully converting and remodeling it into a home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- Currently configured as an artisan textile/sewing workshop, not a home.
- Residential conversion requires a change of use and necessary permits.
- No kitchen or bedroom setup is shown; only one bathroom is listed.
- The exterior is in a dense town street with modest surrounding buildings and no private outdoor space.
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 cluster sits in the Canavese area on the edge of the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea, with low glacial hills, fields and small woods around the villages. Lago di Viverone is within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest substantial town, with full services and its UNESCO-listed 20th-century industrial city of Olivetti. The area is known for wine from the Canavese hills and for the line of morainic ridges left by the ancient Balteo glacier.
