See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000, this 150 m² house needs complete renovation, estimated at about €165,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €224,000 or €1,493/m². That is far above the local reference level of €345/m², although the private garden, parking and existing residential layout add some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, roofed and apparently usable house with a private garden, parking and plenty of existing rooms, so it is more than a ruin or empty shell. However, the worn construction, dated fittings, exposed brickwork and extensive renovation needs make it a practical transformation project rather than a beautiful dream home today.
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€59,000 – €88,000
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 property is explicitly described as completely needing renovation, with visibly worn façades, damp-marked walls and dated interiors.
- The garden is overgrown and will require substantial clearing and landscaping.
- No attractive landscape view or distinctive historic architectural features are evident in the gallery.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Asti, so the setting is an urban plain-and-hill edge rather than open countryside. The Tanaro valley runs through this part of Piemonte, with vineyard hills of the Monferrato beginning around the city. Asti is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre with medieval towers, churches and regular services, but this does not remove the urban cap. The wider area is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato and Astigiano production.
