See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€843/m²), the asking price is already more than double the local €398/m² benchmark; adding roughly €62,300 for renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,543/m². The house has a garden and parking, but the structured listing reports no bathrooms while the description mentions one, so details should be verified.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed two-level home with a usable layout, private garden, and attractive traditional details around the windows, doors, staircase, and interior glazing. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home, with widespread cosmetic deterioration and a rough outbuilding. The garden adds potential, but the ordinary neighborhood setting and lack of views keep the wow factor moderate.
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€17,000 – €31,000
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 renovation is needed: peeling facades, damp/stained interiors, dated finishes, and neglected outdoor areas.
- The detached outbuilding/cassero appears structurally rough and may require major rebuilding before use.
- No clearly documented bathroom count in the facts, although one dated bathroom is visible in the photos.
- No scenic view or standout landscape setting is shown; this is a residential neighborhood property.
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 34/100The cluster sits inside the built-up area of the city of Novara (urban context). The surrounding landscape is the flat Po plain (Pianura Padana) dominated by intensive agriculture, with rice paddies and arable fields in the near countryside. The plain is crossed by small rivers and an extensive network of irrigation canals; the Agogna river runs through the Novara area. There are no named mountains or large natural parks within about 15 km. Lake Maggiore and the Alpine/prealpine foothills lie farther north and are reachable by car but are outside the 15 km radius. Novara is a provincial capital with a cathedral (Duomo), the Basilica of San Gaudenzio with its tall cupola, a regional hospital, and a main railway station with frequent services to Milan and Turin; road links provide relatively direct access to the A4/A26 corridors and to Milan Malpensa airport.
