Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €300/m², the €45,000 asking price is below the local €336/m² reference, but the unfinished attic and unspecified overall condition could bring estimated costs to about €105,000 total, or €700/m². The central village location and private courtyard help, while the listing does not say whether the main house is immediately habitable.
More on the house and the area
A bright, strongly colored village house with a generous private courtyard, sunny terrace, exposed brick arches, and some older architectural character. The main living areas are solid, furnished, and clearly habitable, including two bedrooms and a functioning bathroom, but interiors are dated and the upper attic remains a raw project rather than finished living space.
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, €400/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.
- The home is immediately usable but appears dated and heavily furnished, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The upper attic is currently unfinished and would require renovation and habitability approval to become living space.
- The private courtyard is useful but mostly paved and enclosed, with little greenery or privacy.
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.
