In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €55,000 for 143 m² but the ad explicitly says the house “needs renovation”; I estimate €700/m² (≈€100,100) in works, giving an effective price ≈€155,100 or ~€1,085/m² versus the regional median €355/m². The heavy renovation burden makes this poor value despite the generous size and many photos, and the listing’s “Habitable” label contradicts the description of needed works.
More on the house and the area
Solid village house with a private courtyard, usable rooms and a pleasant valley view — good bones (exposed beams, tiled roof) and a garage/deposit. Livable now but will reward a sensible renovation to modernise interiors and repair external roofs and outbuildings.
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€28,000 – €50,000
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.
- Property is dated and needs modernization (kitchen, bathroom finishes, electrics).
- External covered courtyard/roof and outbuildings require repair or replacement.
- Only one bathroom; rooms and services are basic.
- Close to neighbouring houses — limited privacy/outdoor space.
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 68/100This area sits in the Canavese hills at the edge of the Alpine foreland, with the Graian Alps visible to the north and west. The Dora Baltea valley is nearby, and Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a rail station and a substantial historic center. The Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier, is one of the main landscape features of this part of Piemonte and lies within the surrounding area. The zone is known for wooded hills, small villages, vineyards and moraine landscapes rather than for a single monument or resort.
