This is a judicial auction at an offer price of about €50,700, so it is excluded despite the €325/m² headline price. The 156 m² home is in only fair condition, with a very old electrical system, disconnected heating, and precarious storage areas containing asbestos roofing.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 156 m² independent house with three bedrooms, a balcony, garage and a sizable 400 m² courtyard in a central village location. However, the presentation proves little visual charm, while the outdated systems and precarious ancillary spaces make it more of a practical renovation opportunity than a dream Italian home.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€31,000 – €55,000
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 property interior or exterior photos are shown, so the visual appeal cannot be verified.
- The living area is described as in decent condition, but the electrical system is outdated and the heating is limited.
- The cellar and storage areas are precarious and partly dangerous; the roof includes asbestos cement.
- This is a judicial auction, so legal and access details should be checked carefully.
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 area sits in the Tanaro valley between the Monferrato and Langhe hill country, with mixed vineyards, fields and wooded low hills around the river. The Tanaro runs by Rocchetta Tanaro, and the Rocchetta Tanaro Natural Park protects a belt of riparian woodland and hills near the village. Asti is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shops and the main urban services of the province. This part of the Astigiano is known for wine landscapes and vineyard agriculture, though the most famous UNESCO core areas of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are not centered here.
