What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listing
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Why this price is what it is

At €65,000 (€297/m²), the price is below Piemonte's €398/m² baseline, but the property explicitly needs renovation: estimated all-in cost is about €218,300, or €997/m². The 219 m² size, garage, garden, and central location add appeal, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a large, genuinely usable house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, heating, air conditioning, and clean, intact interiors. It feels more like a well-maintained but old-fashioned family home than a dream Italian retreat, with no distinctive views, historic architecture, or standout outdoor setting shown.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€77,000 – €110,000

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.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€43,000 – €77,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The listing describes the property as needing renovation, despite the interiors appearing usable.
  • Finishes, kitchen, bathroom, furnishings, and lighting are notably dated.
  • No exterior, garden, garage, or surrounding views are shown in the provided gallery.
  • Energy performance and construction year are unspecified.

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 38/100

This is the flat rice-growing plain between Novara and the lower Sesia, with a network of irrigation canals and cultivated fields across the immediate area. The Ticino Valley and Parco del Ticino lie to the east, with the river forming the main natural feature within reach. Novara is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre.
