See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €45,000 for 180 m² but needs major renovation: estimated €700/m² → ~€126,000 work, so effective cost ≈ €171,000 (~€950/m²) vs regional median €355/m². Central location and autonomous heating are positives, but the high renovation burden makes this an overpriced rehab.
More on the house and the area
Solid village townhouse with attractive period details (arched/vaulted ceilings, wooden eaves and long external balcony) and all main rooms present. Structurally intact and partially equipped (boiler, radiators) but the interiors are dated and need a proper renovation — very good value for someone who wants a character home to restore.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs full internal renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes)
- Likely electrical and plumbing upgrades despite existing boiler/heating
- Shared courtyard setting so limited private outdoor space

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.
