See what needs doing and what each job costs
€29,000 price plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (180 m²) gives ≈€155,000 total, or ≈€861/m², versus the local median ~€263/m². The property needs a full renovation and currently has no bathrooms, so realistic total cost places it well above typical regional values.
More on the house and the area
Nice brick farmhouse façade with characteristic ventilated loft bricks and a private garden — a photogenic shell with genuine country character. Inside is currently basic storage/garage space (no fitted kitchen/bath) and will need a full renovation to turn it into a comfortable, year‑round 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€36,000 – €63,000
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.

- Interior is largely storage/garage space and not yet a finished home
- No kitchen or bathrooms shown; utilities/finishes are not evident
- Plaster damage and makeshift ceilings — significant interior renovation required
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 34/100This cluster sits in the built-up area of Alessandria, on the flat alluvial plain where the Tanaro and Bormida rivers meet. The landscape within about 15 km is mostly agricultural plain with river embankments, fields, roads and scattered industrial and logistics areas. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a rail junction and a substantial historic centre with the Cittadella, an 18th-century fortified complex.
