Asking €65,000 for 189 m² with an estimated €200/m² for works yields an effective price of about €102,800 (≈€544/m²), ~53% above the regional median of €356/m². The house has 20 photos and a 39 m² garage, but it is inland (109 km from the sea) and the listing omits the energy class, so it looks overpriced for Piemonte.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, genuinely habitable townhouse with characterful brick arches, a private paved courtyard and a large 39 sqm garage — excellent value for the size. The house is liveable now but feels dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to make it a true dream home.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Dated interior finishes — kitchen, wall panelling and bathrooms could use modernization.
- Large garage/ancillary space is unfinished blockwork and will need work to convert.
- Several rooms are fairly closed and have limited natural light; no scenic views.
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.
