Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 90 m², the asking price is €1,100/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €1,300/m², far above the €397/m² local comparison level. The historic-center location, garage, and cellar add value, but the listing does not state the condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable historic-center house with a photogenic Italian streetscape, traditional shutters, tiled roof, garage, cellar, and a practical two-level layout. The interiors are occupied and equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, heating radiators, and bedrooms, but the intense décor, worn finishes, and dated fixtures make it more of a colorful refresh project than a beautiful move-in dream home.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 highly dated and would benefit from substantial cosmetic renovation.
- The house is in a dense historic-center street with no visible private garden or meaningful outdoor space.
- The unusual multilevel staircase layout may be less convenient for everyday living.
- The listing does not confirm structural condition, utilities, or energy performance.
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 51/100The area sits on the plain between the Stura di Demonte and Tanaro river systems, with the Maritime and Cottian Alps visible to the south and west. The Langhe hills begin not far to the east, but the immediate 15 km landscape around Fossano is mainly cultivated plain with scattered farmsteads and small settlements. Fossano itself is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre with the Castello dei Principi d'Acaja and arcaded streets. Within this radius the area is known above all for mixed agriculture and for being a service centre between the Cuneo plain and the first hills.
