Price €90,000 is ~€703/m2; adding an estimated €200/m2 for works yields an effective ~€903/m2, far above the Piemonte median of €356/m2. The property is a characterful multi-level house near Lake Orta with 18 photos, but the listing does not state condition or energy class, so the price looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A very characterful, historic borgo townhouse with stunning arched loggia, frescoed ceilings, large fireplaces and lovely mountain views. Interiors are atmospheric and largely usable today, though parts of the house and finishes need refreshing. Excellent for someone seeking an authentic Piedmont home rather than a fully modern turnkey property.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- some cosmetic renovation and updating required
- multi-level layout with many stairs may limit accessibility
- bathrooms and some finishes are basic and will need work
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.
