See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing, which makes acquisition complex and risky. At €64,714 for 492 m² plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (€98,400) the effective price is ~€163,114 or ~€332/m², close to the regional reference of €350/m².
More on the house and the area
Large village townhouse with covered loggias, long balcony, paved courtyard, garages and garden area — solid, roofed and clearly usable. The building is dated and needs internal refreshing/repairs; as an auction lot it’s a real-value project for someone wanting lots of space in Piemonte.
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€32,000 – €55,000
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/partly boarded exterior and visible unfinished outbuilding — some renovation needed
- Interior photos not shown; bathroom count unclear so internal condition unknown
- Sale by judicial auction — legal/title checks and possible occupancy issues advised
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 68/100The Serra d'Ivrea moraine ridge runs through this part of the Biellese and gives the area a mix of wooded slopes, small fields and views toward the Canavese plain and the Alps. The Elvo valley and the lower Biella prealps are nearby, with the main Biellese mountain arc visible to the north. Lago di Viverone lies about 10 km away. The nearest larger town is Biella, which has full services, a historic centre and textile-industry heritage. This part of the province is known for the Serra d'Ivrea landscape, vineyards around the morainic hills, and proximity to the Biellese foothills.
