What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €362/m², the €38,000 asking price is low, but substantial renovation at an estimated €700/m² raises the effective cost to about €1,062/m² versus the Piemonte baseline of €315/m². The central location, valley view, garden, cellar and 9 photos add appeal, but do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed country house with a handsome brick fireplace, traditional furnishings, a garden, and a pleasant valley view. It appears usable but clearly dated and in need of substantial renovation and cleanup rather than immediate move-in living. At €38,000, the setting and independent-house potential create strong value appeal.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.

- Significant renovation is needed, including worn finishes, cracked or damp-looking walls, and an outdated bathroom.
- The garden is overgrown and cluttered with building debris.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the home’s utilities and structural condition should be verified.
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.
