Asking EUR 49,000 for 180 m² but interiors are 'da ultimare'; I estimate finishing at €200/m² (≈€36,000), so effective price ≈€85,000 or ≈€472/m² — about 50% above the regional median of €314/m². Good points: independent house with garden, terrace and bifamiliare potential, but the 'Renovated' label contradicts the description saying interiors must be completed.
More on the house and the area
A solid detached villa with a wraparound garden and a large terrace in a quiet Piedmont village — pleasant mountain views and good outdoor space. The exterior and roof look sound after recent work (2025) but the interior is an unfinished shell that will need full completion to be lived in.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Interior largely unfinished: raw brick walls and concrete floors need completion
- Bathrooms/kitchens appear not fitted and electrical/plumbing likely to require work
- Verify permits/energy class and connection of utilities before purchase
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 67/100The cluster is in the Lanzo Valleys area at the edge of the Graian Alps. The Stura di Lanzo basin is the main river landscape nearby, with wooded slopes, side valleys and pre-alpine ridges around the settled floor. The nearest ski lifts are in the Lanzo valleys above Ceres and Ala di Stura, roughly 45-60 minutes by road depending on the lift and season. Lanzo Torinese is the nearest town of some size, with rail access toward Turin and the usual services; Turin is the main city for higher-order services and work. This part of the province is known for mountain pasture country, chestnut woods and the traditional valleys leading up toward the French border.
