In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€98,000 for 100 m²; with a modest habitable-condition renovation estimate of €200/m² (~€20,000) the effective price is ~€118,000 (≈€1,180/m²), well above the Piemonte baseline of €350/m². The house has a 1990s renovation, scenic garden, garage and many photos, but the effective €/m² makes this an expensive listing for the region.
More on the house and the area
Detached, sun-filled house with a beautiful arched picture window and clear panoramic views over the Val Curone; interiors are characterful and lived-in (terracotta floors, exposed beams, fireplace/stove) and were refurbished in the 1990s. The home is habitable and move-in ready for a primary or second home, though outdoor space is modest and there is only one bathroom.
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€7,000 – €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.
- Only one bathroom (1.0) in the layout
- Garden is small and mostly gravel/low-maintenance, not a lawn
- Property sits close to the road/power lines and has external steps/access
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.
