What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €45,000 asking price is attractive, but estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €178,000, or €937/m²—well above the local €398/m² benchmark. Its central position, garden and two bathrooms add appeal, but the listing does not provide enough technical detail to reduce renovation uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, characterful village house with an attractive traditional façade, wooden shutters, tiled roof, balconies and vaulted interior details. It is a real, roofed and serviced home with kitchen, bathrooms and heating, but the interiors are very dated and require meaningful renovation before it becomes a dream residence.
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.
- Substantial interior renovation is needed, including dated finishes, wallpaper, flooring and likely modernization of kitchen and bathrooms.
- The exterior appears usable but some balconies, render and covered areas show age and maintenance needs.
- No compelling landscape or town view is visible; the property is in a built-up village 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 66/100The Canavese plain meets the first morainic hills of the Serra d'Ivrea here, the long glacial ridge that runs south of Ivrea. The Dora Baltea flows through the Ivrea area a few kilometres away. Lago Sirio and the other small glacial lakes around Ivrea are within this radius. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services and a substantial historic centre. Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for the 20th-century industrial city built by Olivetti. The area is known for the morainic landscape of the Canavese and for Ivrea's Olivetti heritage.
