At €32,000 (€168/m²), the headline price is low, but allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified-condition 190 m² townhouse brings the estimated total to about €165,000, or €868/m²—well above the €356/m² local comparison level. The two-apartment layout and 44 photos are positives, but the listing does not say whether the property is immediately habitable.
More on the house and the area
A large, genuine two-level home in a leafy Piedmont setting, with sunny rooms, patterned vintage tile floors, shutters, and a separate rustic stone-and-brick outbuilding. It is not a shell: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, heating, floors, and intact roofs are visible, but the property is strongly dated and needs cosmetic renovation plus condition checks.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors with peeling paint and ceiling damage.
- Exterior walls and paving need maintenance; the roof and structure should be professionally checked.
- The grassy wooded area appears attractive, but ownership and usability are not confirmed.
- Kitchen and furnishings are functional-looking but very old-fashioned and likely need upgrading.
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 58/100The area sits in the Biellese foothills, with the lower Alps rising north toward the Biella prealps and the Monte Rosa chain visible from parts of the province. The Cervo and Sessera valleys are within this radius, and the landscape around Cossato is a mix of settled plain and lower hills with woods and fields rather than high mountain terrain. The nearest substantial town is Biella, which has full services, a historic centre and the Sacro Monte di Oropa above it; Oropa is a UNESCO-listed Sacri Monti site but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the Biellese is known for wool and textile manufacturing.
