What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€472/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €139,000 or €772/m² after moderate renovation for the attic and ancillary spaces, versus a €398/m² Piemonte baseline. Central location, two garages and a cellar add value, but the premium over the local baseline limits the deal score.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional Piedmontese town house with tiled roofs, shutters, a private paved courtyard, two garages, and a practical five-bedroom layout. It looks like a real, usable home rather than a ruin, but the exterior is tired, the attic needs finishing, and there is no standout view or exceptional architectural feature.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €30,000
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 appears dated, with visibly worn façades and shutters; renovation and cosmetic work are likely.
- Two attic rooms are explicitly described as needing work, and the condition of the interiors, systems, roof, and bathrooms is not shown.
- The house fronts a public road in a town center rather than offering a countryside view or secluded setting.
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 49/100The cluster lies in the plain between the Po and Pellice river systems, with the Cottian Alps visible to the west on clear days but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Po runs near Villafranca Piemonte and shapes the local setting as flat agricultural land with irrigation channels, poplar groves and fields. Saluzzo is the nearest town of size nearby, with a substantial historic centre and services. This part of the plain is known for farming, especially fruit and mixed agriculture.
