What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 plus roughly €16,000 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,262/m²—around four times Piemonte stock's €315/m² median. The house has functioning systems but documented ground-floor moisture/infiltration issues and is 5 km from Giaveno, so the price is difficult to justify.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable mountain home with a strong forested Piemonte setting, generous balconies, a private courtyard/garden, fireplace, wood stove, and traditional shutters. The interiors are dated rather than stylish, but complete and well maintained enough for immediate living; the main practical concern is the reported seasonal dampness on the ground-floor floors.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Reported seasonal floor infiltration on the ground floor, likely related to rainwater drainage.
- The interiors are clean and usable but quite dated, with extensive pine furnishings and finishes.
- Mountain setting and access appear pleasant, but the home is about 5 km from central Giaveno.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Val Sangone at the foot of the Cottian Alps, with wooded lower slopes rising quickly west of the town. The Sangone stream runs through the valley. The Natural Park of Monte San Giorgio lies by Giaveno, and the Sacra di San Michele on Monte Pirchiriano is within the surrounding area and is one of the main historic landmarks of the lower Susa-Val Sangone hills. The nearest substantial town is Avigliana, with lakes and a medieval centre; Turin is the main city for services and work. This part of the province is known for prealpine valley landscapes, chestnut woods, and access to hiking into the lower Alps.
