See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €18,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €113/m², but the listing does not state the overall condition or construction age, and the independent annex explicitly needs renovation. Including an estimated €47,700 renovation allowance brings the effective cost to about €413/m², above the local €263/m² benchmark despite the private garden, garages and central location.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly affordable Piemonte farmhouse with a genuinely attractive panorama over wooded hills and a large paved outdoor terrace, plus garden, garages, and a private setting. The main dwelling appears to have a functioning kitchen, bathroom, floors, and several usable rooms, but it is old-fashioned and needs refreshing; the dependance is effectively a major renovation project.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€16,000 – €27,000
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 main house appears usable but is very dated, with peeling exterior finishes and interiors needing cosmetic renovation.
- The independent dependance is in a seriously dilapidated, renovation-required condition.
- Energy class G and the property’s proximity to the road may require practical upgrades and noise checks.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the hills of the Basso Monferrato on the right bank of the Po, with wooded slopes, small vineyards and cultivated ridges above the river plain. The Po runs nearby, and the Collina Torinese and the first Monferrato hills shape the local landscape. The Parco del Po piemontese covers stretches of the river environment in this area. Chivasso is the nearest town of size, with rail services, shops and everyday services, and Turin is the main city for higher-level services and work. The area is known for mixed hill farming, vineyards and small villages on the ridgelines.
