At €82,000, the habitable 90 m² apartment works out to about €1,111/m² after allowing €18,000 for light renovation, versus a local benchmark of €672/m². It has strong photo coverage, independent heating, balcony and terrace, but the effective price is substantially above typical local stock.
More on the house and the area
A bright, clean, genuinely habitable 90 m² apartment with a recently modernized kitchen, polished floors, balconies, and several usable rooms. It is comfortable and move-in ready, but visually ordinary: there is no proven scenic view, historic character, standout interior, or private outdoor setting.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- No notable view, historic character, or distinctive setting is visible.
- Apartment-block living with shared exterior spaces rather than a private garden.
- Energy class and building age are not provided; only one bathroom is listed.
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 42/100The area lies on the flat plain of the Po, with the Po River a few kilometres to the north and broad cultivated land around the town. The nearest larger centre is Alessandria, which provides the main rail and road services, hospitals and larger retail. Casale Monferrato is nearby and marks the edge of the lower Monferrato hills, but those hills are outside the immediate plain around Valenza. The area is known nationally for jewellery and goldsmithing linked to Valenza itself.
