What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €26,000 asking price is attractive at €217/m² versus the Piemonte country-house baseline of €398/m², but the condition is unspecified. Using a cautious €500/m² renovation estimate raises the effective cost to about €717/m², so the apparent discount is not yet reliable.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine 120 sqm village house with usable rooms, a bathroom, tiled floors, balconies, and a memorable brick-arched fireplace. Its old stone-and-brick cellar/outbuilding adds authentic historic character, while the €26,000 price is exceptionally low. However, the interiors are tired and damp-looking rather than move-in ready, so it is a renovation bargain rather than a polished dream home.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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 very dated and need substantial cosmetic renovation, especially the kitchen and finishes.
- Visible damp/staining and aging electrical/plumbing installations should be investigated.
- The home is in a dense village setting with no proven scenic view or private garden.
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 Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge lies at the edge of Burolo, and the Canavese plain opens southward while the Alpine chain is visible to the north and west. Lago di Viverone is within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a substantial historic centre, and the UNESCO-listed Olivetti industrial city. This part of Canavese is known for glacial landforms, small lakes, and mixed farmland at the foot of the Alps.
