See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction is an automatic veto, regardless of the €98/m² asking price versus the €263/m² Piemonte baseline. The listing calls it renovated in the facts, but the description states both units are in poor condition with obsolete uncertified systems and no gas or hot water, implying roughly €1,100/m² renovation costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a very inexpensive 122 m² rural property with two separate dwellings and a potentially appealing wooded, historic setting. However, the photos show a dated and poorly maintained interior rather than a beautiful finished home, while the lack of hot water and modern utilities makes it a substantial renovation project.
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€48,000 – €71,000
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.
- Both units are described as being in poor maintenance condition, despite some basic furnishings and tiled floors.
- No hot-water system or gas connection; heating is by wood stove only.
- Electrical systems are old and uncertified, and the property lacks energy certification.
- Auction purchase and peripheral woodland location require careful legal, access, and renovation checks.
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 sits in the Val di Susa with the Graian Alps and the western Alpine chain closing the valley on both sides. The Dora Riparia runs along the valley floor. The lower Val di Susa has a continuous mountain backdrop, forested slopes and small villages set between the river corridor and the side valleys. The Sacra di San Michele stands on Mount Pirchiriano about 15 km away and is one of the main historic landmarks of the valley. Susa is the nearest larger town, with Roman remains, services and rail connections through the valley. The area is known for the old transalpine route toward the Mont Cenis and Fréjus passes and for fortified villages and abbeys along the valley. The nearest ski areas are in the upper Val di Susa, with lifts around Bardonecchia and the Via Lattea resorts reached by road in roughly 45 to 70 minutes.
