See what needs doing and what each job costs
Large 148 m² townhouse priced €79,000 but listed as “Needs renovation”: estimated renovation €700/m² → €103,600, giving an effective price ≈ €182,600 (≈€1,233/m²). That is about 3.5× the regional baseline of €356/m², so the renovation burden makes this an overpriced renovation project despite the central location and many photos.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, well‑lit town home with a terrace, small garden and garage — clearly a liveable layout. Interiors are dated but solid (kitchen, bathrooms and floors present), so this is a good-value renovation opportunity rather than a ruin.
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€29,000 – €52,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs cosmetic renovation and modernization (dated finishes).
- Wood‑burning stove/chimney pipe appears makeshift and needs inspection/repair.
- No scenic views or historic features — suburban/town location.
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 38/100The area is in the eastern Piedmont plain between the Sesia valley and the Novara rice country, with flat farmland, irrigation channels and scattered woods typical of the lower Vercelli-Novara plain. The Sesia River runs a few kilometres east. Vercelli is the nearest city of size, with a historic centre and services; Novara is also within normal daily range. This part of the province is known for rice cultivation.
