Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €293/m², the property is about 26% below the local €397/m² benchmark and offers 300 m² with two independent units. The listing does not say the condition, so substantial renovation costs should be allowed for before buying.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious country house with two independent living units, abundant rooms, a large terrace, and attractive rolling Piemonte countryside views. The home is solid and furnished rather than a shell, but its dated finishes, old bathrooms, and neglected outdoor areas keep it below the dream-home tier.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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 and bathrooms are very dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The large terrace is overgrown and needs substantial clearing and upkeep.
- The exterior appears utilitarian rather than architecturally distinctive; roof and systems are not clearly documented.
- Two bathrooms for a 12-bed layout may be limiting for two families or guest use.
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 52/100The cluster lies in the lower Curone-Grue-Ossona area on the edge of the Tortona plain, with mixed fields and low hills rather than a marked mountain setting. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the first ridges of the Apennine foothills rise south of Tortona. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, services and rail links. This part of south-eastern Piemonte is known for wine, fruit growing and mixed farming.
