At €87,000 for 129 m², the asking price is €674/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for its described good, habitable condition brings the effective cost to about €875/m², far above the €345/m² local comparison level. The house has useful features such as two bathrooms, double glazing, a balcony and courtyard parking, but the price premium is substantial.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely livable two-level townhouse with a spacious layout, working kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, balcony, heating, and a usable courtyard. The traditional shutters, balcony railings, brick detailing, and bright interiors add modest Italian character, but the setting and design are fairly ordinary rather than dreamlike.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- The home is clearly usable and maintained, but the bathrooms and finishes are dated rather than freshly modern.
- The courtyard appears practical for parking, though it is not a landscaped private garden.
- There is no significant scenic view or dramatic setting visible.
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 43/100This is the Tanaro plain at the confluence with the Bormida, with flat farmland, riverbanks and low hills beginning south and west toward the Monferrato and Alto Monferrato. Alessandria is a provincial capital with full services, rail links and a substantial historic centre including the Cittadella fort. Within about 15 km the setting is mainly settled plain and infrastructure rather than a distinct scenic landscape.
