The €48,000 asking price is €343/m², essentially in line with comparable homes, but allowing roughly €28,000 for updates brings the effective cost to about €543/m². The new condensing boiler, garage, private parking and central location support the price, though the listing does not provide an energy rating and part of the ground floor is storage/workshop space.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly livable and spacious townhouse with a bright modern kitchen, attractive tiled floors, arched details and decorative vaulted ceilings that give it genuine character. The roof, floors and main living spaces appear usable, while the exterior and some interiors need cosmetic renovation; the busy roadside setting limits the dream-home appeal, but €48,000 for 140 sqm with garage, parking and outdoor space is a strong value.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Exterior plaster is visibly worn, with peeling areas and possible damp-related damage indoors.
- The house sits directly on a busy through-road, so traffic noise and privacy may be concerns.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a 140 sqm, two-level home; there is no private garden.
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 72/100The Biellese Prealps rise immediately north of Candelo, with the Serra morainica d'Ivrea running nearby as a long glacial ridge across the landscape. The Cervo and Elvo valleys are the mountain valleys closest to daily life here, and the Oasi Zegna area in the upper Biellese is the main named mountain landscape in the province. Biella is the nearest town of size and has the province’s main services and historic centre. Candelo is known for the Ricetto di Candelo, a preserved medieval fortified village, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia.
