At €78,000 for 130 m² (600€/m²) I estimate €200/m² renovation (~€26,000), so effective price ≈€104,000 or ~800€/m²—nearly double the regional median of €403/m². The listing does not state the property condition, increasing uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived‑in country home with a private courtyard, terrace and vegetable plots and pleasant wooded-valley views. The building is ready to live in but the interiors and outdoor structures are dated and would reward cosmetic upgrading; the two separate apartments give flexible use or easy rental income.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes — will benefit from modernization
- Outdoor outbuildings, kennels and yard areas need clearing/repair
- Semi‑detached layout (shared wall) and dual apartments create layout quirks
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 68/100Ferrere sits in the Roero hill country, with cultivated ridges, small woods and a landscape shaped by vineyards and orchards. The Banna stream runs through the area, and the Tanaro valley lies to the south-west within this part of Asti and Roero. The nearest towns of size are Asti and Alba, which provide the main services, rail links and historic centres. Govone, with its Savoy castle that forms part of the UNESCO wine landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, is within the wider surrounding area. This part of Piemonte is known for wine production, especially the transition between the Astigiano hills and the Roero.
