What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 118 sqm, the asking price is €297/sqm versus a €353/sqm local baseline, already below ordinary stock. The description suggests an independent home in the town center with 14 photos and no major legal issue, but the unfinished/non-habitable attic and missing condition data imply a likely light-to-moderate rehab budget of about €200/sqm.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: floors, windows, radiators and bathrooms are in place, so it looks basically habitable with renovation. The wow comes mainly from the very low price and a sunny courtyard with mature trees, but the house itself is plain and dated rather than beautiful or atmospheric. The raw attic also limits the dream factor for extra space.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€8,000 – €13,000
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 dated and need cosmetic updating throughout.
- The attic is raw/non-habitable as shown, so the third bedroom is only a future project.
- Courtyard/outdoor space appears mostly paved and in a shared court, not a private garden retreat.
- No standout views or strong historic character visible in the photos.
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 56/100The area sits in the low hills between the Asti and Turin plains, with mixed farmland, small woods and scattered villages. The nearest larger town is Chieri, which has a substantial historic centre, shops and services; Asti and Turin are farther but part of normal regional life. This part of the province is known for vineyards and mixed agricultural countryside of the Monferrato margins, though the core UNESCO wine landscape lies farther south and does not fall inside the immediate area.
