What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta) sold as-is; price €12,590 but the description says the ground and first floors need extraordinary maintenance while only the second floor is in decorous condition. Estimated €700/m² renovation (total ≈ €118,300 → ~€784/m²) is far above the regional median €314/m², so this looks like a risky auction lot rather than a ready buy.
More on the house and the area
Large three‑storey period house (151 m²) with private courtyard, two terraces, a balcony and a closed veranda; the top floor is in decent, habitable condition but the ground and first floors need substantial repair. A genuine auction bargain for someone willing to take on renovation and reconnect heating/utility systems, but buy only after reviewing the auction documents and survey.
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.
- Piani terreno e primo in stato mediocre: richiesti interventi di straordinaria manutenzione
- Caldaia a gas disconnessa (acqua calda da boiler elettrico) — prevedere spesa per riscaldamento/impianti
- Nessun box auto/garage
- Immobile venduto all'asta: verificare perizia e vincoli prima di partecipare
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 68/100The cluster sits on the Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the Balteo glacier, with wooded slopes and a sequence of small hill villages between Biella and Ivrea. The Elvo valley and the lower Biellese prealps are nearby, and the higher Biella Alps rise to the north within the local horizon. The nearest substantial town is Biella, which has full services, a railway terminus, and the wool-textile heritage for which the area is known. The Oasi Zegna mountain area is farther north in the Biella Alps, but not inside the immediate 15 km landscape.
