What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 for 170 m², the property looks cheap at €176/m², but the description explicitly says it needs renovation; adding an estimated €700/m² gives an effective cost of about €876/m², well above the Piemonte baseline of €398/m². The 36 photos and independent three-level layout help, but the rural Curino location offers limited value support.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, independent Piemonte house with a usable kitchen, living room, bedrooms, enclosed veranda, balcony, and attractive mature greenery around it. It is not a polished dream home: the interiors are dated and several areas need real renovation, but it appears to be a solid, occupied house rather than a bare shell or ruin; at €30,000, the size is the main 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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €60,000
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.
- The property is explicitly marketed as needing renovation, with visible peeling plaster and dated enclosed veranda areas.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 170 sqm, three-level house.
- Utilities, heating performance, roof condition, and compliance are not confirmed from the photos.
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 68/100The cluster is in the eastern Biellese, on the first hills between the Cervo and Sesia basins, with the Pennine Alps visible to the north and the lower Serra moraine ridge and rice plain toward Vercelli to the south. The Sessera valley and the Colline Biellesi are within the local landscape, and the Baraggia plateau lies nearby, a heath-and-pasture area unusual in Piedmont. The nearest town of size is Biella, which has full services and a historic upper town at Biella Piazzo. Ricetto di Candelo, a preserved medieval fortified shelter-village, is within the area. The area is known for small hill vineyards around Lessona and Bramaterra and for the transition from pre-alpine foothills to the Vercelli plain.
