Asking price is €220,000 (≈917 €/m²); with an estimated €200/m² for works (≈€48,000) the effective price is about €1,117/m² versus the local benchmark of €397/m², so this sits at a large premium. The ad does not state the property's condition or year and the home has only one bathroom for 240 m², suggesting further upgrades may be needed.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid cielo-terra in the heart of Fossano’s historic centre with high ceilings, a real balcony/terrace and bright, generously proportioned bedrooms (nice parquet). The apartment is clearly lived-in and immediately usable but cosmetically dated in places (kitchen, façade, single bathroom) — a light-to-moderate refresh would make it a very comfortable 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€16,000 – €27,000
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 for a very large 240 m² apartment
- Exterior façade and shutters look dated and may need refresh
- Central historic-street location means limited privacy and possible street noise
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 49/100Fossano sits on the plain between the Stura di Demonte and Tanaro systems, with the Maritime and Cottian Alps visible to the south and west on clear days. The Stura di Demonte runs nearby west of town. The nearest larger centre is Cuneo, which has the main services, rail links and a substantial historic centre. Fossano itself is known in the area for its old centre on a raised position above the plain and for the Castello degli Acaja.
