At €24,000 for 26 m² (€923/m²), the asking price is already 88% above the local comparison level of €491/m²; allowing roughly €700/m² for unspecified works produces an effective cost near €1,623/m². The description confirms residential use, garden and terrace, but does not state the condition or renovation requirements.
More on the house and the area
A charming, compact countryside retreat with exposed roof beams, a usable tiled interior, private outdoor areas, and pleasant wooded hill views near Asti. It appears to be a real, roofed and furnished home rather than a shell, but its tiny size, detached bathroom, and somewhat rustic exterior limit its appeal as a full-time residence.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Very small at only 26 sqm, making it better suited to a retreat or highly compact living.
- The bathroom and storage are in a detached outbuilding, and no kitchen is visible in the gallery.
- Steep outdoor steps, aging concrete areas, and overgrown grounds may require maintenance.
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.
