In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,500/m², the asking price is already far above the local €664/m² benchmark; including modest habitable-home costs, the effective price is about €1,700/m². The 2009 building, lift, garage, cellar and terrace are positives, but they do not justify this large premium in Asti.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, well-maintained and immediately usable apartment with a fitted kitchen, functioning bathroom, terrace, cellar and garage. However, the architecture and interiors are conventional, with no distinctive Italian character, major view, or private outdoor setting to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€3,000 – €6,000
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.
- Generic modern apartment-block setting with no notable historic character or scenic view.
- The photos do not show all building systems or any energy-performance information.
- Terrace and garden areas appear shared or overlooked rather than private.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Asti, so the setting is an urban plain-and-hill edge rather than open countryside. The Tanaro valley runs through this part of Piemonte, with vineyard hills of the Monferrato beginning around the city. Asti is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre with medieval towers, churches and regular services, but this does not remove the urban cap. The wider area is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato and Astigiano production.
