Price of €671/m² is nearly double the regional median of €350/m², so not a bargain on price-per-sqm basis. However, condition is a mitigating factor: listed as 'Renovated' though the description says 'parzialmente ristrutturato' (partially renovated) — a contradiction that suggests some work remains. At 134m² with 3 beds, autonomous heating, cellar, garage/parking, and 3 balconies in a central location, it's a functional habitable townhouse (1940 build). Energy class is missing. Fresh listing (1 day). Given the premium over baseline but solid features and habitable state, this is a fair deal, not a standout. Partial renovation implies moderate remaining costs (~€400/m² for finishing bathrooms, systems, cosmetic work).
More on the house and the area
A functional multi-level townhouse in the centre of Isola d'Asti (Piemonte), 134 sqm at just €671/sqm. Interiors are neat and move-in ready but generic: repainted walls, laminate floors, a decent modern-ish kitchen with feature tiles, and a couple of plain bathrooms. Exterior is an ordinary pastel village house with brown shutters and a shared paved courtyard overlooking mixed neighbouring buildings, including a plain apartment tower. Three balconies and a cellar/garage add practicality but no wow. The low price-per-sqm is mildly attractive but not a dramatic bargain given the modest, partially renovated nature. Nothing here stops the scroll—solid, livable, unremarkable.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- Interiors are clean but plain, freshly repainted with basic laminate flooring
- Exterior is a modest village terratetto with weathered plaster and dated shutters
- No sea, view, or notable natural setting; courtyard faces neighbouring buildings and a tower block
- Only partially renovated; single bathroom for a 3-bed home
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.
