What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €52,000 asking price is attractive at €325/m² versus the €398/m² Piemonte baseline, but the stated renovation need adds an estimated €112,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,025/m². Central location, 160 m² and 21 photos help, but missing condition and building-year data limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
A generous, bright 160 m² village house with a private courtyard, approximately 40 m² terrace, two floors and plenty of usable rooms. It is a real, roofed and functioning home rather than a shell, with bathrooms, kitchen, heating and attractive period terrazzo floors, but the interiors are very dated and it needs meaningful renovation before feeling truly dream-worthy.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and modernization appear necessary, especially the dated kitchen, finishes, windows and exterior details.
- No scenic countryside or mountain view is shown; the home is in a dense central village setting.
- The large terrace appears usable but its waterproofing and maintenance should be checked.
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 61/100The area sits on the low hills and plain by the Dora Baltea, close to the boundary between the Canavese and the Vercelli rice plain. Lake Candia is within about 15 km, with the Parco Naturale del Lago di Candia around it. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the 20th-century Olivetti industrial city. This part of the Canavese is known for mixed farmland, morainic hills, small vineyards and rice fields toward the east.
