Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €450/m², plus an estimated €200/m² for its stated good condition, the effective cost is about €650/m² versus €356/m² for comparable homes in the area. The central location, fireplace, parking and terrace add appeal, but the asking price is still high for this market.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Monferrato townhouse with warm exposed beams, a substantial fireplace, traditional shutters, tiled floors, and an attractive historic village setting. The interiors look well maintained and furnished rather than like a renovation shell, making the €36,000 price especially compelling, though the home is compact and has only one bathroom.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home.
- The home is on a narrow village street with no clearly shown private outdoor space.
- Energy performance, systems, and roof condition are not specified.
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 slopes, small wooded ridges and mixed farming. The nearest river of note is the Po farther north, but within the local radius the landscape is mainly rolling inland hills rather than a major water feature. Asti is the nearest larger town with full services, rail links and a substantial historic centre, and Casale Monferrato is also within practical reach. This part of Monferrato is known for vineyards and wine production, especially the hills of the Asti and Monferrato wine country. The wider Monferrato wine landscape has UNESCO World Heritage status, including core zones in the Asti area.
