Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€183/m²), the asking price is about 46% below comparable Piemonte stock, but a full 300 m² restoration at roughly €1,100/m² puts the estimated all-in cost near €385,000 (€1,283/m²). Utilities, character features and 21 photos help, yet the remote hamlet location and substantial renovation burden make this a speculative project rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
A former convent with a striking 17th-century brick entrance portal, rustic vaulted details, a private courtyard, and broad Monferrato views. The main house is roofed and genuinely usable, with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, utilities, and attractive original floors, but it is very dated and needs a serious renovation rather than a light refresh.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, especially modernization of interiors and likely systems.
- Energy class G and very dated finishes may mean higher running and refurbishment costs.
- The 300 sqm includes former agricultural/storage spaces, so not all floor area is presently living space.
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.
