Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large 1970s villa priced €239,000 for 279 m²; I estimate modest updating (€200/m² → €55,800), giving an effective price ≈ €1,057/m². That is about 3.4× the local median of €308/m², so it looks priced well above market despite the generous size and many photos.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in 1970s villa with generous rooms, attractive terrazzo/parquet floors and a mature garden — very liveable as-is but visually dated. Great for someone wanting roomy, independent accommodation in town who is happy to update finishes rather than undertake 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€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Clearly dated 1970s interior — kitchen and bathrooms will need modernising to most buyers' tastes.
- Street‑front position with limited views and potential traffic noise.
- Exterior metalwork shows surface rust and planting is somewhat overgrown — light maintenance required.
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 43/100The area lies on the Po plain at the edge of the Pianalto di Poirino, with flat and gently raised agricultural land used for fields and livestock. The Banna stream crosses the Poirino area. Chieri is the nearest larger town and has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links toward Turin. Turin is the main city for daily needs and work, and the hills around Chieri begin a few kilometres to the northwest, but the immediate 15 km landscape is mainly ordinary farmland. The area is known for the Asparago di Santena e delle Terre del Pianalto.
