What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €87,000 price is very low at €174/m² versus the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €355/m², with two dwellings, garden, garage and 53 photos. However, the condition is unspecified and the description suggests substantial transformation; estimating €700/m² renovation raises the effective cost to about €874/m² across 500 m².
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Piedmontese courtyard property with a photogenic pink façade, traditional shutters, covered farm structures, private garden space, and attractive decorated ceilings inside. The main dwelling appears solid and lived-in rather than a shell, but the property is very dated and includes extensive auxiliary buildings that likely need real renovation.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€99,000 – €176,000
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.
- Large portions of the courtyard and farm buildings appear substantially dated and may require renovation.
- Interiors are usable but cluttered and cosmetically tired, with no kitchen or all bathrooms clearly shown.
- The 500 sqm size and two-dwelling layout could mean significant maintenance and upgrade costs.
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 60/100The cluster lies on the Biellese plain at the foot of the Biella pre-Alps, with the Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge within reach to the west and the first Alpine valleys north of Biella. The Cervo and Elvo valleys are the nearest mountain valleys; the Oropa valley and the Santuario di Oropa area are also within this part of the province, with ski lifts above Oropa about half an hour away by road. Biella is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, services and the textile-industry heritage the area is known for. The wider area is known for rice plain to the south-west toward Vercelli and for wool and textile manufacturing in the Biellese.
