What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Semi-detached townhouse at €195/m² vs regional baseline of €351/m² — roughly 44% below median, a strong price advantage. 169 m² across three levels with 3 beds, 2 baths, private garden, garage, fireplace, and an accessory outbuilding. Fresh listing (2 days). Needs full renovation (1900 build, condition explicitly 'Needs renovation'), so budget ~€700/m² for structural/systems upgrades. Description highlights flexibility (single home or multiple units for investment), which is genuine upside. Downsides: energy class missing, small rural town in Piemonte with limited liquidity, and reno cost on 169 m² (~€118k) exceeds purchase price — still, total all-in cost stays well under typical finished-home value. Solid deal for a buyer prepared to renovate.
More on the house and the area
Semi-detached townhouse in a quiet Piedmont hill village at a very low price (€33k, €195/m2 for 169m2). The bargain price is the main draw, but condition is poor: peeling facades, cracks, dated wood-paneled and terrazzo interiors, and a basic tiled bathroom. Exterior shots show a modest garden with fruit trees and a pleasant but unremarkable village setting cluttered by power lines. The brick fireplace and multi-level layout offer some character and flexibility, but nothing visually striking. Charming potential exists only after significant work.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 53/100The cluster sits in the Scrivia valley between the lower Piedmont hills and the first Ligurian Apennine ridges. The Scrivia river runs through this area, and within about 15 km the main landscape is a mix of valley floor, cultivated fields and low hills around Tortona and the roads toward the Apennine passes. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a full set of daily services and a historic centre. This part of south-eastern Piedmont is known for wine hills and mixed farming, with Timorasso vineyards established around the Tortona hills.
