At €79,000 (€718/m²), the asking price is already about twice the local €356/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €22,000 for unspecified remaining works brings the effective cost to about €918/m². The central location, upgraded windows and systems, and parking add value, but the listing does not clearly state the overall condition or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A highly livable and well-presented townhouse with a photogenic Italian courtyard, arched passage, balconies, shutters, and an attractive exposed-beam roof structure. The interiors are fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, finished bathroom, multiple living areas, and comfortable bedrooms; it needs updating in style rather than major reconstruction.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Set within a shared courtyard rather than having a private garden or terrace.
- Interior styling and some finishes are dated, despite the home appearing maintained and usable.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a two-bedroom, multi-level house.
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.
