Large villa 250 m2 at €159,000 (€636/m2); assuming modest upgrades (€200/m2 ≈ €50k) gives an effective price of €209k or ≈€836/m2, well above the regional median €308/m2. The listing omits condition, construction year and energy class, so price looks high for a needed-update property.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roomy two‑storey villa with a private ~400 m² garden and covered balcony — bright, functional rooms and a working fireplace. The house is liveable now but has dated finishes and needs cosmetic updating and garden cleanup to become a true dream home.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Dated 1970s finishes — kitchen, floors and décor will need modernization
- Garden and paths are overgrown and need clearing/maintenance
- Limited privacy — neighbouring buildings are close and visible
- Only two bathrooms for a large 5‑bed layout
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 40/100This is the Canavese plain between the Malone stream and the lower Dora Baltea basin, with a flat agricultural landscape of fields and irrigation channels. The nearest larger town is Chivasso, which has rail links, shops and everyday services; Turin is farther west and matters for commuting but is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for farming on the plain.
