In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
190 m² habitable townhouse at €48,000 (€253/m²) but estimated renovation €200/m² raises effective price to €86,000 (~€453/m²), about 27% above the Piemonte baseline of €356/m²; good photos and a garage help but the inland location reduces appeal. The listing does not state building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A solid, fully independent town house with a usable small courtyard and ~200 m² of external land — rare for this price. Interiors are liveable but dated (old tiles, panelling and some patched ceilings), so it’s a good-value family home that will need modernisation to reach its potential.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Dated, 1970s–80s interiors and finishes — cosmetic renovation and updating needed.
- Single bathroom for a large 190 m² house; consider adding a second bath.
- Neighbouring building at left appears partly derelict; check boundary/structural issues and privacy.
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 56/100The cluster sits on the northern edge of the Novara plain where flat farmland gives way to the lower hills of the Prealps. The surrounding land is mixed agriculture with vineyards present in the nearby hill communes that form part of the Alto Piemonte wine area (Ghemme/Gattinara are in the same wine district to the north/northeast). The nearest towns of size are Borgomanero (local services, shops and a railway station) and the provincial capital Novara (regional rail connections, hospitals and larger services). The larger lakes of the area (Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore) lie to the west and are regional attractions beyond the immediate plain. Mountainous areas and ski facilities in the Monte Rosa/Sesia valleys lie further to the north and are reached by regional roads.
