Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Biella) — auction lots have legal complexity; listed price €51,468 for 366 m² (€141/m²). The ad also disclaims that images are not the real photos and mentions a partially demolished tettoia, so heavy restoration is likely required.
More on the house and the area
The supplied photos show very stylish, move-in-ready interiors and a photogenic historic façade with balconies and a bright balcony view — it looks charming and modern. However the official description describes a large farmhouse with outbuildings, a partially demolished structure and auction sale, so expect this to be a renovation project rather than a turnkey home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€145,000 – €214,000
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.
- Photos are indicative and explicitly NOT the real images of the property.
- Listing mentions fienili (barns) and a partially demolished tettoia — likely significant renovation required.
- Property is sold at auction (procedural/legal complexity and potential delays).
- No reliable info on working bathrooms/kitchen or utilities in the sale description.
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 52/100This is the flat edge of the Biellese and Canavese plain, with rice fields, canals and low farmland; the Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge lies nearby and is the main landform within reach. Lake Viverone is within the local area. Ivrea is the nearest larger town of note, with services and a historic centre, and Biella is also nearby with the usual provincial-town services. The area is known mainly for agriculture, especially rice-growing on the plain.
