What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €304/m², the €59,000 asking price is 14% below the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €355/m², but the unclear condition and “possibility to customize” suggest meaningful renovation risk. Assuming roughly €500/m² of works, effective cost rises to about €804/m²; condition, year, and energy class are missing.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly generous and genuinely livable 194 m² townhouse, with a flower-filled garden, covered terrace, elegant vaulted ceilings, and a substantial fireplace giving the main living room real character. The kitchen and principal living spaces are functional, while several bedrooms and finishes are dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation. At €59,000, the size, usable condition, outdoor space, and period details create 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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €38,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but noticeably dated, especially the bathroom and some secondary rooms.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large four-bedroom house.
- Exterior paving, balcony railings, and some finishes may need maintenance or modernization.
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 hills above the Po, with the river running nearby and a belt of cultivated slopes and woods typical of the eastern Torino hills and the edge of Monferrato. Verrua Savoia is known for the Rocca di Verrua, the fortress site above the Po valley. Crescentino is the nearest larger service town, with shops, schools and rail connections; Chivasso is the nearest larger centre with broader services and links toward Turin. The wider area is known for mixed hill farming, vineyards and small historic hill settlements.
