In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €41,906 (€315/m²), this habitable 133 m² apartment is priced well below the local €667/m² benchmark; even allowing roughly €26,600 for updates, the effective cost is about €515/m². Its central setting, garage, cellar, balcony, fireplace, heating, and substantial photo set support the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, clearly usable 133 sqm home with functioning kitchen and bathrooms, bright living spaces, balconies, heating, and practical extras such as a garage and cellar. Its appeal is mainly livability and generous space rather than beauty: the suburban exterior and dated finishes offer little visual romance, but it appears suitable for immediate occupation with refurbishment over time.
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 – €15,000
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.
- Dated interiors and furnishings would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Exterior shows peeling paint and general maintenance needs.
- No notable view, garden, or strong historic character is evident in the photos.
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 52/100This is the transition between the Turin plain and the hills of the Basso Monferrato. The Po is the main river of the wider area, flowing north of here beyond the immediate village surroundings. Asti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections, and Turin is also part of everyday orbit for work and transport. The area is known for mixed farming and vineyards on the nearby Monferrato hills.
