What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €439/m², the asking price is only slightly above the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m², while partial renovation at an estimated €600/m² raises the effective cost to about €1,039/m². The panoramic setting, garden, ample size and proximity to Biella add value, but the renovation burden makes this an ordinary-to-weak deal rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A generous country house with a beautiful covered loggia, traditional tiled roof, mature garden, and wide panoramic views over the Piedmont landscape. The interior is a real furnished home with two bathrooms and a striking fireplace, though it is dated and clearly needs renovation rather than being move-in ready. At €79,000, the combination of 180 sqm, views, and garden gives it strong dream-home appeal.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Partially to be renovated; the photos show dated interiors and signs of damp or staining.
- The sloping, overgrown garden and numerous steps may require substantial upkeep.
- Interior completeness and the condition of the roof, systems, and bathrooms are not fully shown.
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
