See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €25,000 asking price is very low at €174/m² versus €336/m² for comparable homes, but the property is explicitly sold for personalization and likely needs renovation, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €874/m². The listing does not state the building’s exact condition or construction year, although the garden, garage and 2,500 m² of nearby land add value.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Piemonte farmhouse with traditional shutters, terracotta floors, a fireplace, exposed brickwork and a private garden, plus a substantial 2,500 sqm plot nearby. The main house is roofed and genuinely usable, but tired and damp in places, while the upper terrace and ancillary spaces are unfinished. At €25,000, the land and historic character create strong bargain appeal, though this is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €51,000
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 house needs substantial cosmetic renovation, including damp-affected plaster, repainting and likely modernization of the kitchen and bathroom.
- The large upper terrace/brick outbuilding is an unfinished, dusty space rather than ready-to-use living area.
- Energy class G; utilities, roof condition and structural compliance should be verified.
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 68/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with vineyard and mixed-farming ridges between the Tanaro and Po basins. Asti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, rail links and services. The wider area is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato appellations.
