In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 (€152/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €352/m² after moderate habitable-condition work, essentially in line with comparable Piemonte townhouses. The generous 257 m² layout, garden, terraces and accessory spaces are strong positives, though the inland location limits demand and resale appeal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, unusually spacious townhouse with a warm lived-in character, wood floors, a large covered terrace and a beautiful wooded-hillside view. The private garden and €39,000 price are compelling, although the colorful dated finishes and dense village setting make it more charming than polished.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and highly personalized, with some cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The property is surrounded closely by neighboring buildings, despite having a private garden and large covered terrace.
- The attic, cellar spaces and exterior outbuildings may require verification and future maintenance.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Biellese prealps, on the forested slopes above the Cervo and Sessera valleys. The Sessera stream and the Panoramica Zegna road are part of the immediate area, and the upper valley rises toward the Bielmonte side of the mountains. The Oasi Zegna protected area lies within this part of Valdilana and is the main named landscape feature nearby. The nearest ski lifts are at Bielmonte, roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services and a historic upper town. This area is known for the historic wool-textile industry of the Biella district and for the Zegna mountain estate.
