Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€567/m²), the asking price is already well above the local €336/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €52,500 for unfinished or personalized areas brings the effective cost to about €917/m². The upper floors were recently renovated and the property has two garages and a private courtyard, but the overall condition is not clearly stated and the G energy class may mean higher running costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable country house with clean renovated interiors, a private courtyard, terrace-veranda, and two garage spaces. It lacks dramatic views or standout historic character, but offers practical Italian village living with room for personalization rather than a ruin or bare shell.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Exterior is functional but visually plain and tightly enclosed by neighboring buildings.
- The upper floors appear recently renovated, but the kitchen is basic and the mansard’s additional bathroom/wardrobe space still needs finishing.
- Only one completed bathroom is clearly shown; energy class G may mean higher running costs.
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 68/100The area sits in the Monferrato hills above the Po, with mixed vineyard, woodland and cultivated slopes. The Po river runs just below Gabiano, and the broader river plain opens north of the hills. This is part of the Monferrato wine landscape, known for vineyards and wine production; the wider Monferrato wine country is a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, though Gabiano itself is on its northern edge rather than in a major monumental centre. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and a substantial historic centre.
