In the listingNeeds renovation- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('Data di asta', 'Offerta minima'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. It also needs substantial renovation with unfinished areas and probable asbestos in the roof; despite the low 102 €/m2 ask versus a 352 €/m2 baseline, auction status dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
There is a little rustic character in the brick arches, old masonry and the large internal courtyards, and the price per square metre looks extremely cheap. But this does not read as a ready dream home: much of it is cluttered, partly unfinished and functionally compromised, with only limited evidence of comfortable living space. The outdoor areas are usable in theory, yet they feel enclosed and scrappy rather than beautiful.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€74,000 – €131,000
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.

- Major renovation needed; several rooms are unfinished/rough and some spaces are not legally habitable due to low ceiling heights.
- One balcony is without a parapet, creating an immediate safety and compliance issue.
- Probable asbestos in the roof of the lateral east wing.
- Auction sale; technical/legal due diligence is essential.
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 72/100The area is in the Monferrato hills, with vine-covered ridges, mixed farmland and small wooded slopes. The Po is the main river of the wider area and runs north of these hills near Casale Monferrato. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. Parts of Monferrato are UNESCO-listed as the vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, and this zone around Ozzano falls within that wine-hill setting. The area is known for wine, especially Barbera and Grignolino, and for the broader Monferrato farming landscape.
