See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €15,000 asking price is very low, but the 300 m² farmhouse is completely to renovate and lacks heating; estimated works at about €1,100/m² bring the total investment near €345,000, or €1,150/m². That is far above the local reference of €260/m², so this is a major renovation project rather than a cheap livable home.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic setting is genuinely impressive, with sweeping farmland, wooded hills and a river or lake view, plus attractive historic village rooftops and a large garden. However, this is a substantial renovation project rather than a usable home: the exteriors are visibly worn, the interiors are not shown, and the property is described as completely needing renovation. At €15,000 it has strong project potential, but its livability is currently very low.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€119,000 – €176,000
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.
- Completely requires renovation and is not currently move-in ready.
- Visible deterioration includes peeling façades and aging roof structures; roof condition needs professional verification.
- No heating is installed, and the listing gives no usable interior photos or bedroom count.
- The 1,000 m² garden and terrace should be confirmed legally and structurally.
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 area lies on the Bormida and Tanaro plain at the meeting point of the Tanaro valley with the lower hills of Monferrato. The Tanaro and Bormida rivers are the main landscape features close to the town. To the west and northwest, within this radius, the land starts to rise into the Monferrato hills with vineyards and mixed farmland. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a historic centre, rail junction and hospital. The wider area is known for wine production in Monferrato and for flat agricultural land around the river confluence.
