Listed at €159,000 (≈€510/m²) versus the regional baseline of €350/m²; the ground floor is described as 'allo stato grezzo', so I estimate €700/m² renovation, giving an effective price ≈€377k (~€1,210/m²). The high effective cost versus baseline makes this overpriced for Piemonte; the listing also lacks explicit condition/energy-year data.
More on the house and the area
A large 1970s bifamiliare with a long balcony and open views over fields/woodland plus a generous private garden — very attractive for country living. The upper living spaces are well-presented and immediately usable, but the ground-floor unit is a shell requiring renovation, so expect additional work to fully unlock the property.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€62,000 – €110,000
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.
- The ground-floor unit is offered allo stato grezzo (raw) and will need substantial finishing/renovation.
- Dated 1970s interiors and fittings — bathrooms and some finishes will likely need updating to modern tastes.
- Exterior metalwork (balcony rails) and some outdoor surfaces show wear and will need maintenance.
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 61/100The area sits on the Canavese plain at the foot of the Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier. Lake Candia is within this radius, and the Dora Baltea runs nearby through the Ivrea plain. Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with a full range of services and a well-preserved industrial city core linked to Olivetti; Ivrea is on the UNESCO list for the 20th-century industrial city. The area is known for mixed farming, vineyards on the morainic slopes, and the transition from the Po plain to the Aosta valley approaches.
