What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse, 131 sqm, semi-detached with private courtyard, terrace, garage, cellar. Systems (electrical/plumbing) redone, roof revised 2011 with waterproofing membrane, condensing boiler, double-glazed windows. Move-in ready so low reno cost (~100/sqm cosmetic). However at 756 EUR/sqm it's 2.15x the regional median of 351 (n=4781, decent baseline). Price is far above local norms, which caps the deal despite good condition. Energy class missing. Fresh listing (6 days). Solid property but priced at a premium relative to the market, hence overpriced rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Standard semi-detached townhouse in a quiet residential area of Farigliano, Piemonte. Interiors are clean and habitable but dated, with dark wood cabinetry, mixed decor and typical suburban finishes. The yellow exterior with a whimsical Cheshire cat mural adds character but reads as ordinary rather than striking. Terraces, private courtyard, cellar and garage are practical selling points. Low €756/m2 is reasonable but not a dramatic bargain for the area. No standout views, location, or architectural drama. Overall a solid, functional home lacking scroll-stopping appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Watermarks obscure many photos
- No energy class listed
- Dated interior finishes and decor
- Cheshire cat mural on facade is quirky but not a real wow

The area around
Location score 77/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vine-covered ridges, wooded folds and scattered farmhouses within the immediate landscape. The Tanaro valley is nearby to the north, and the Ligurian Alps are visible on clear days from higher ground in this part of southern Piemonte. This is wine country: Dogliani gives its name to a DOCG red, and the surrounding hills are part of the wider Langhe viticultural landscape. Barolo and Monforte d'Alba are within roughly 15 km, and the area around them is known for vineyards, wine villages and cellar towns. The Langhe-Roero and Monferrato UNESCO World Heritage vineyard landscape includes nearby zones in this part of the hills. Alba is the nearest larger town, with services, rail links and the white truffle market for which the wider area is known.
