This is offered via a judicial auction (vendita pubblica), which is a deal veto. At €25,478 plus ~€700/m² renovation (~€38,500) the effective cost is ~€64,000 (~€1,160/m²) versus the regional median €355/m²; the listing text also mentions a bathroom while the facts list 0 baths (contradiction).
More on the house and the area
Modest two‑storey terraced house with intact roof/floors and a small balcony — a realistic, low‑cost buy but not especially scenic or historic. Good as a budget project for someone wanting a liveable home after renovation rather than a dream, move‑in property.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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.

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 56/100The area sits on the plain and low rolling farmland between the Roero and the approach to the Cuneo plain. The Tanaro is the main river of this part of the province, flowing north of here near Bra and Alba. Bra is the nearest town of size, with rail connections, services and a substantial historic centre. Within about 15 km the most distinct landscape feature is the edge of the Roero hills around Pocapaglia and Sommariva Perno, with vineyards, orchards and wooded ravines. The Langhe wine hills begin farther east beyond this radius, so they do not define the immediate setting. This part of Piemonte is known for mixed farming and, a little farther out toward Bra and Alba, for wine and food culture.
