Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€89,000 for 150 m² plus an estimated €200/m² renovation gives an effective cost ≈ €119,000 (≈€793/m²) vs the local median of €400/m², so this is substantially above typical regional prices. The listing also warns some images are illustrative, so photos may not fully match the property.
More on the house and the area
A solid, immediately-usable two‑storey family house with a private gravel courtyard, garage/rustico and large, well-proportioned rooms. Interiors are dated but intact, so this is a liveable bargain that benefits from cosmetic updating rather than major structural work.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 interiors and finishes — needs cosmetic modernisation
- Only one bathroom for full house
- Energy class F (inefficient heating) — likely higher running costs
- No notable view or historic features
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 38/100Casalvolone sits in the rice plain between the Sesia and Agogna rivers, in the flat landscape of the eastern Piedmont lowlands. The Sesia flows a few kilometres west. The nearest town of size is Novara, which has a substantial historic centre and rail links. Vercelli is also nearby and is one of the main centres of the paddy-field area known for rice cultivation and irrigated farmland. On clear days the Monte Rosa massif is visible far to the north, but it is not within the immediate 15 km landscape.
