The €67,500 asking price is attractive at €281/m², about 19% below the local €345/m² benchmark. However, allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable but potentially dated 240 m² house brings the effective cost to about €481/m²; the garage, heating, fireplace, balcony and terrace add practical value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, generously sized home with a working kitchen, bathroom, tiled living spaces, heating, garage, balconies, and terraces. Its strongest feature is the elevated panoramic setting over wooded hills and cultivated countryside, with a substantial garden below. The decor is dated and the exterior is utilitarian rather than beautiful, but €67,500 for roughly 240 sqm plus views and land gives it strong dream-home value.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Exterior includes aging corrugated coverings, exposed utility/service areas, and some maintenance needs.
- The large garden appears sloping and will require ongoing upkeep.
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 68/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with ridged vineyards, woods and cultivated slopes around the village. The nearby river is the Po to the north of the hills, outside the immediate ridge system but part of the wider local geography. Asti is the nearest town of size, with rail services, shops and the main concentration of services; Chivasso is another practical centre. The area is known for wine, especially the Monferrato vineyards, and for mixed hill agriculture with hazelnuts and small hilltop villages. Parts of Monferrato farther south have UNESCO vineyard landscape status, but not this immediate area around Cocconato.
