Asking €15,000 (100 €/m2) but estimated renovation ≈€700/m2 (≈€105k) yields an effective price ≈€120k or ≈€800/m2 — well above the Piemonte baseline of ≈€355/m2. The listing does not state the building condition or year, so actual work required is uncertain despite the many photos.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, low‑cost Piedmont townhouse with original doors, wooden floors, shutters, a small garden and pleasant mountain views — lots of character. The main building is intact and clearly habitable after systems and cosmetic renovation, while the adjacent outbuilding is in poor shape; this is a true bargain if you’re ready for work.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Needs general renovation (kitchen, bathroom, heating/electrics).
- Signs of damp/peeling plaster and cosmetic decay in rooms.
- Outbuilding/annex is partially derelict.
- Only one bathroom; check utilities and roof structure before purchase.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Biellese prealps, on the forested slopes above the Cervo and Sessera valleys. The Sessera stream and the Panoramica Zegna road are part of the immediate area, and the upper valley rises toward the Bielmonte side of the mountains. The Oasi Zegna protected area lies within this part of Valdilana and is the main named landscape feature nearby. The nearest ski lifts are at Bielmonte, roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Biella is the nearest town of size, with full services and a historic upper town. This area is known for the historic wool-textile industry of the Biella district and for the Zegna mountain estate.
