This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Biella), which is a legal/financial veto that greatly increases risk and transaction complexity. Price €44,437 (≈€265/m²) is below the Piemonte median €308/m², but the ad uses non‑real images and omits key data, so it’s not recommended for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show bright, contemporary, move-in-ready interiors and a high-quality kitchen and bathroom, so this could be a lovely, usable home. However the ad explicitly says the photos are indicative and the exterior/setting is unclear, so verify real photos and the unit’s actual condition before assuming the staged look is accurate.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative and do not represent the actual property — verify real images/planimetry.
- Exterior photo and setting are unclear (one image shows a dense apartment block) — no proven views or private garden in photos.
- Confirm current condition on-site and that bathrooms/kitchen/roof/attic are as described despite the low price.
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 58/100The area sits in the Biellese foothills, with the lower Alps rising north toward the Biella prealps and the Monte Rosa chain visible from parts of the province. The Cervo and Sessera valleys are within this radius, and the landscape around Cossato is a mix of settled plain and lower hills with woods and fields rather than high mountain terrain. The nearest substantial town is Biella, which has full services, a historic centre and the Sacro Monte di Oropa above it; Oropa is a UNESCO-listed Sacri Monti site but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the Biellese is known for wool and textile manufacturing.
