Habitable terraced house, 97 m² with garage and heating; estimated renovation €200/m² -> effective price €117,400 (≈€1,210/m²). That is well above the regional median of €345/m², so this is overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable two‑storey terraced house with a private garden, patio and garage — comfortable to live in now but quietly dated. Great value for under €100k, though a cosmetic renovation (kitchen/bathrooms, balcony railings and landscaping) would unlock its full potential.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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 interior finishes and fixtures — cosmetic refresh advised
- balcony and external metalwork show rust/age
- small, enclosed garden — private but not scenic
- no notable views; house faces a street in a small town
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 68/100The area sits in the Monferrato hills above the Po, with mixed vineyard, woodland and cultivated slopes. The Po river runs just below Gabiano, and the broader river plain opens north of the hills. This is part of the Monferrato wine landscape, known for vineyards and wine production; the wider Monferrato wine country is a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, though Gabiano itself is on its northern edge rather than in a major monumental centre. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and a substantial historic centre.
