See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€144/m²), the large 340 m² townhouse needs substantial renovation, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €844/m² versus a local reference of €356/m². The generous layout, private exterior, double garage and 32 photos are positives, but the listing does not state the energy class and the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a large traditional Piemonte townhouse with appealing historic features, especially the exposed vaulted brick ceilings, old shutters, balcony, and private exterior space. However, the interiors are currently uninhabitable and require substantial renovation rather than cosmetic refreshing, so it is a characterful project—not a ready-to-live-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€67,000 – €119,000
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.

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 68/100The cluster is in the hills of the Basso Monferrato, with cultivated ridges, small woods and dispersed villages around the Po valley. The Po runs a few kilometres to the north, and the area sits close to the Sacro Monte di Crea, a UNESCO site within the Monferrato hills. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with services, a rail station and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for Monferrato wine country and mixed hill farming.
