Effective price ≈ €587/m² (€55,000 + €150/m² renovation → total ≈ €73,900 / 126 m²) vs regional baseline €350/m², so this town-centre house (courtyard, garage, second fabbricato, 46 photos) is above the local median despite being inexpensive in absolute terms; listed as habitable with partial works already done, which supports a fair (not bargain) score.
More on the house and the area
A very characterful Piedmont town-house with a private paved courtyard, covered portici/parking, large green gate and an elegant balcony — attractive village living. The main house is largely intact and partly habitable, but the outbuildings, finishes and some systems will need updating to create a comfortable long-term home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Exterior and interior plaster peeling with signs of damp and cosmetic decay — needs renovation
- Secondary outbuilding/cellars pictured are rough/unfinished and require work
- Courtyard has a stated right-of-way for the neighboring house — verify boundaries and access rights
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.
