See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €99,900 (333€/m²) plus an estimated €400/m² renovation yields an effective cost ≈€220k (≈€733/m²), well above the Piemonte median of €355/m²; the listing has generous space, gardens and many photos, but the condition tag (“Needs renovation”) conflicts with the text saying it was renovated in the 1990s.
More on the house and the area
Generous, well-built semi-detached house (≈300 m²) with double private gardens, a triple garage and some attractive character (exposed beams, large fireplace, high rooms). The property is a solid, immediately usable home but clearly needs cosmetic renovation and checks on visible cracks — excellent value for the size and outdoor space.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€35,000 – €59,000
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.

The area around
Location score 43/100This is open plain country on the edge of the Torinese lowlands, with fields, irrigation channels and scattered farmsteads. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north, and the hills of the Monferrato begin to the east around Chieri and Castelnuovo Don Bosco. Chieri is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services; Turin is the main city for higher-order services and work. The area is known for mixed agriculture, livestock and market gardening rather than for a single landmark landscape.
