Large 400 m² building listed at €78,000 described as "interamente da ristrutturare"; I estimate full restoration ≈ €1,100/m², so effective price ≈ €1,295/m². That is far above the regional median of €493/m², so this requires heavy investment; the listing omits condition and energy class.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid two‑storey building with intact roof, generous open rooms and a pretty wood‑panel vaulted ceiling plus a private paved courtyard/covered parking — great for a house+studio or conversion project. Interiors are usable but tired and show damp/stains; substantial renovation and likely change‑of‑use work will be needed. The price and scale make this a strong bargain for someone planning a full refurbishment.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€158,000 – €234,000
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.
- Entire building advertised as to be renovated — expect full refit of finishes, systems (electrical/ plumbing/heat).
- Visible damp/peeling ceilings and stained floors in several rooms — assess moisture and roof condition.
- Currently set up as commercial/bar: conversion to full residential use may require permits and internal reconfiguration.
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 39/100This is the western Lomellina and lower Novara rice plain, a flat agricultural landscape of paddies, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Ticino river and the Parco naturale della Valle del Ticino lie to the east, with the nearest access around Galliate and the Turbigo bridge area. Novara is the nearest city of size, with rail links, services and the landmark dome and bell tower of the Basilica di San Gaudenzio. The area is known for rice cultivation in the alluvial plain between the Sesia and Ticino.
