- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 529 m² property is being sold through a judicial auction, with a minimum bid of €74,025, so it fails the catalog’s purchase-safety criteria. It also needs substantial renovation, including uninsulated attic areas, basic finishes, outdated windows, and limited heating.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large, traditional Piemonte townhouse with a private courtyard, tiled living spaces, functioning kitchen and bathrooms, and attractive exposed timber roof structure in the attic. It is substantially more than a bare shell, but its plain exterior, dated interiors, unfinished upper level, and significant renovation needs keep it below dream-home territory.
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€105,000 – €186,000
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.

- Needs renovation and modernization, despite the main living spaces appearing usable.
- The attic is unfinished, uninsulated, and cluttered; adjacent portico and warehouse are rough storage areas.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal and technical due diligence.
- Internal stairs create an accessibility limitation; heating is mainly by pellet stoves.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Roero–Monferrato hill country, with cultivated ridges and small valleys typical of the Asti area. The Tanaro river lies to the west, and the nearest larger towns are Asti and Alba, which provide the main services, rail links, and a substantial historic centre. This part of Piemonte is known for vineyards, hazelnuts, and mixed wine-and-farm countryside.
