What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€531/m²), the €160/m² property is about 50% above the Piemonte townhouse baseline of €355/m²; allowing €200/m² for habitable-condition costs gives an effective €117,000 (€731/m²). Its renovated, central village location and Monferrato tourism appeal add value, but do not fully justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, attractive early-1900s townhouse with balconies, a fireplace, exposed wooden ceilings, and a tidy renovated exterior. The interiors appear solid, bright, and genuinely habitable, with two bathrooms and usable heating, though the style is plain and the home lacks a garden or standout panorama. At €85,000 for 160 sqm, its size and ready-to-live condition provide meaningful bargain appeal.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- No private garden or strong scenic view is shown.
- The house is spread over three levels with multiple staircases.
- Interiors are habitable but somewhat dated and plainly finished.
- It sits directly on a village road rather than in a secluded setting.
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.
