What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €350/m², even allowing about €200/m² for unspecified updates, the effective cost is roughly €549/m²—about 18% below the local €671/m² benchmark. The listing has 28 photos and appears usable, but it does not state the condition or construction year; the third-floor walk-up is a practical drawback.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, clean, genuinely usable family apartment with generous rooms, a functional kitchen, bedrooms, heating, and a pleasant enclosed balcony. The patterned terrazzo floors add a little Italian character, but the interiors are conventional and heavily furnished, with no memorable view or historic feature to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Third-floor apartment with no elevator.
- Energy class F may mean higher heating costs.
- Only one bathroom for a 123 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- No strong exterior, landscape, or standout architectural 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 41/100This is the flat Tanaro plain around Alessandria, with farmland, irrigation channels and the broad river corridor of the Tanaro; the Bormida also meets the Tanaro here. The nearest larger centre is Alessandria itself, which has the usual services of a provincial capital and a citadel fortress. Beyond the 15 km radius the landscape rises toward Monferrato vineyards and the Ligurian Apennines, but those do not define the immediate surroundings here. The area is known mainly for agriculture and for Alessandria’s road and rail junction role between Turin, Milan and Genoa.
