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 trap for this catalog. It is also in advanced structural disrepair with integral works needed on roof, walls and floors plus an unsanctionable extension to demolish, so the effective cost is about €160,288 total (~€1,179/m² vs €352/m² baseline).
More on the house and the area
At this price the bargain effect is real, and the old Piedmont village house has decent scale with a few small balconies. But the photos and description show a seriously degraded, partly unsafe interior with major structural works needed, so this is a rescue project rather than a home you could realistically live in soon.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€54,000 – €80,000
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 68/100This is hill country of the Monferrato, with cultivated ridges, small woods and scattered villages. The Po is north of the area beyond the nearest hills, but within the immediate surroundings the landscape is inland agricultural hills rather than a riverfront. Casale Monferrato is the nearest larger town, with services, rail links and a substantial historic centre. Moncalvo is nearby and is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for vineyards, mixed farming and the wider Monferrato wine landscape.
