Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €650/m², the €65,000 asking price is close to the local €664/m² benchmark; allowing about €200/m² for a habitable but energy-class G property brings the effective cost to roughly €850/m². The three entrances, three bathrooms and central services are useful, but the listing does not say when the building was constructed or provide a clear condition classification.
More on the house and the area
A highly finished, design-led urban loft with strong styling, multiple entrances, three bathrooms, and unusually flexible living spaces. It appears immediately usable rather than a renovation project, although the lack of outdoor space or views and some unfinished wall details limit the dream-home appeal.
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€7,000 – €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.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- Several walls and finishes show scuffs, patched areas, or incomplete decorative work.
- The three bathrooms are windowless, and the ground-floor urban setting offers no visible garden or notable view.
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.
