What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €27,000 (€14/m²), the entry price looks cheap, but the 2,000 m² figure includes former shops/offices, an apartment, a garage, and storage structures, with the property described as totally needing renovation. Applying roughly €1,100/m² produces an effective cost near €1,114/m², far above the €398/m² Piemonte baseline; residential surface and legal conversion potential are unclear.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old village property with a charming courtyard layout, traditional shutters, tiled roofs, balconies and an attractive church backdrop. However, it is clearly a major renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home, with extensive deterioration and neglected ancillary buildings.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€792,000 – €1,170,000
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.
- Entire property is described as needing complete renovation.
- Visible damp, deteriorated plaster, aging balconies and neglected courtyard require major structural and finishing work.
- No usable kitchen is shown, and only one dated bathroom is visible.
- Roofing and balcony condition should be professionally inspected before purchase.
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 33/100This is the eastern Piedmont plain between the Dora Baltea and the Po basin, with a landscape dominated by rice fields, irrigation canals and straight rural roads. The nearest substantial town is Vercelli, which has services, rail connections and a historic centre with major churches and civic buildings. Ivrea and the first Alpine valleys are farther away and do not define the immediate 15 km surroundings. The area is known for rice cultivation in the vercellese plain.
