In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Priced at 680/m2 vs baseline 650/m2 (n=5218, solid), so ~5% above median with no obvious bargain. Needs full renovation (built 1970), so budget ~400/m2 on top. Note contradiction: listed as 4 rooms/125sqm but description says 'trilocale' (3-room) — verify actual size. Fresh listing (1 day). Doppi servizi (2 baths), balcony, cellar are positives. No energy class data. Fair deal, not a standout given the modest discount is erased by renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
Dated 1970s apartment in Alessandria needing full renovation. Interiors show worn dark furniture, marble floors, and old tiled bathrooms with no visual appeal. Views overlook industrial rooftops and parking lots. Ordinary residential block exterior. No standout features; low price reflects condition rather than any wow effect.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
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 34/100This is the flat Tanaro plain around Alessandria, with intensive farmland, roads, rail lines and scattered industrial areas. The Tanaro runs through the city and the Bormida joins it nearby. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a substantial historic centre and a rail junction. The Monferrato hills begin outside the plain but they are not the immediate landscape here. As the cluster is inside the built-up area of a city above 50,000 residents, the urban cap applies.
