Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Big semi-detached house 230 m² listed at €295,000; estimated effective cost €341,000 (~€1,482/m²) using a modest €200/m² upkeep allowance, versus the regional median ~€350/m². The listing omits condition, year and energy data, and the price is more than 4× the local median, so this reads as overpriced despite many photos and a garden.
More on the house and the area
A solid, ready-to-live-in family house with warm, characterful interiors (fireplaces, tiled kitchen) and a private garden full of mature trees. The exterior and covered terrace are pleasant, but the property is close to the road and the décor is dated — a comfortable home rather than a dramatic, view-led dream villa.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- House sits close to the roadside — some traffic/noise possible.
- Interior decoration is dated and would benefit from updating to taste.
- Listing price is higher than the 'cheap' range; not a bargain project.
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 53/100The cluster is on the first hills north-east of Turin, in the belt where the Po plain meets the Collina Torinese. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, with the green corridor of the Parco del Po Piemontese along sections of the river near San Mauro Torinese and Chivasso. The nearest large city is Turin, which provides the full range of services, rail connections, universities, museums and major hospitals. Within this part of the hill country the landscape is a mix of wooded slopes, small vineyards, farm fields and villages on ridge roads. Superga and the Basilica di Superga are within the wider hill system nearby, but the setting here is still mainly peri-urban countryside rather than a distinct mountain or lake landscape. The area is known locally for hillside wine growing in the Turin hills and for the string of settlements between the city edge and the lower Canavese.
