Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing price €19,000 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (66 m² → €13,200) yields an effective cost of ≈€32,200 or ≈€488/m², about 21% above the local median of €403/m². The ad omits the property condition and energy class, so renovation needs are not fully documented.
More on the house and the area
A compact, characterful village house with wood details, a balcony and a tiny courtyard — immediately usable but very tired. Good bones and liveable layout (kitchen, bath, attic and cellar) make it an affordable project; expect cosmetic work and checks for moisture/roofing to bring it up to a comfortable long-term home.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Very dated interior and bathroom — needs cosmetic renovation
- Small footprint and limited outside space (tiny cortile and narrow street)
- Some damp/staining visible — recommend checking roof and moisture/insulation
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 72/100The area is in the Monferrato hills, with vine-covered ridges, mixed farmland and small wooded slopes. The Po is the main river of the wider area and runs north of these hills near Casale Monferrato. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. Parts of Monferrato are UNESCO-listed as the vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, and this zone around Ozzano falls within that wine-hill setting. The area is known for wine, especially Barbera and Grignolino, and for the broader Monferrato farming landscape.
