See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €66,685 asking price (€236/m²) is below the local comparison level, but this property is explicitly being sold through a judicial auction with a minimum bid and procedure number. It also needs substantial renovation, including unfinished areas and outdated systems.
More on the house and the area
A handsome historic-brick townhouse in the old center, with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, traditional roof details, a large terrace, and a charming tiled-roof townscape. It is a genuine multi-level house with some usable living spaces, but its disused condition, unfinished areas, neglected courtyard, and dated systems make this a renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
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€56,000 – €99,000
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 house is in disuse and needs substantial renovation, especially unfinished sections without plaster or systems.
- The 62 sqm terrace is attractive but visibly neglected and will need clearing and refurbishment.
- The listing is an auction property; legal, access, utilities, and total renovation costs require verification.
- No bathrooms are confirmed in the facts despite interior images suggesting at least one bathroom area.
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 66/100This is in the Monferrato hill country, with vine-covered ridges and small valleys. The area is known for Barbera d’Asti wine, and Castagnole Monferrato is associated with the Ruchè grape. Asti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. Parts of Monferrato farther east are included in the UNESCO wine landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, but the immediate landscape here is ordinary vineyard countryside rather than one of the best-known sections.
