See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €75,000 asking price is already €1,087/m², and the apartment needs renovation; allowing roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,787/m², far above the €664/m² local benchmark. The 19 photos, immediate availability, good condominium condition and renovated bathroom are positives, but the property is still expensive for a 57 m² net apartment with no garage.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed two-bedroom apartment with balconies, usable flooring, heating and a serviceable bathroom, so it is a real home rather than a shell. The open urban outlook and leafy surroundings add some appeal, but the interiors are dated and the property needs a meaningful refresh rather than being move-in ready.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €24,000
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- The apartment is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with an outdated kitchen and worn finishes.
- Second floor without an elevator.
- Urban intersection setting may mean traffic noise; there is no garage.
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 51/100The area sits on the plain between the Stura di Demonte and Tanaro river systems, with the Maritime and Cottian Alps visible to the south and west. The Langhe hills begin not far to the east, but the immediate 15 km landscape around Fossano is mainly cultivated plain with scattered farmsteads and small settlements. Fossano itself is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre with the Castello dei Principi d'Acaja and arcaded streets. Within this radius the area is known above all for mixed agriculture and for being a service centre between the Cuneo plain and the first hills.
