See what needs doing and what each job costs
200 m² independent house with large 3,000 m² plot is offered at €69,000 but requires full renovation; estimated €700/m² raises the effective price to €209,000 (≈€1,045/m²), far above the regional median of €355/m². Good photo coverage and a garage help, but the post-renovation cost makes this a weak value compared with local comparables.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, characterful farmhouse-style house with original vaulted cellar, wide balcony and over 3,000 m² of private garden — excellent for country living and gardening. The main house is structurally intact and immediately usable after updating, while the adjacent outbuilding is partly roofless and needs significant work if you plan to convert it.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.

The area around
Location score 63/100The cluster is in the Serra morenica di Ivrea, the long glacial ridge that runs across this part of southern Biella and Canavese. The Dora Baltea plain and the Ivrea area are close to the south, and the first Biellese pre-Alps rise to the north. The nearest larger town is Biella, with the provincial services, shops and rail connections. Ivrea is also nearby, with a larger historic centre and the UNESCO-listed industrial city of Olivetti. This area is known for morainic hills, woodland, small vineyards and mixed farming.
