See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€917/m²), the apartment is already about 38% above the local €664/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €12,000 for ordinary finishing work. New windows, thermal insulation and an elevator are positives, but the price is not especially attractive; the garage is extra.
More on the house and the area
A solid, usable two-bedroom apartment with clean tiled floors, a balcony, working bathroom, radiators, and apparently new windows. It is more practical than dreamy: the interiors are plain, the kitchen needs completion, and the urban outlook offers little visual 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€4,000 – €7,000
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 kitchen appears incomplete and has no fitted appliances.
- Interiors are functional but plain, with dated finishes and some repainting/refreshing likely needed.
- The garage is optional and must be purchased separately.
- No compelling scenic view or distinctive historic character is shown.
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 61/100The area is in the hills of the Alto Monferrato, with vineyard country, mixed woodland and small valleys around the Bormida system. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, Roman remains and thermal facilities. This part of Piemonte is known for wine, especially Brachetto d'Acqui, and for spa waters.
