What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
200 m2 at €65,000 but upper floor is “al grezzo” and only part of the systems exist, so I estimate €450/m2 to finish (mixed habitable + to-complete). That gives an effective €775/m2 vs the regional baseline €403/m2, so this is overpriced for Piemonte despite good photos and a garage/garden.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed two‑storey house with a large private garden — the ground floor is largely liveable though dated, while the entire upper level is an unfinished shell. Good value for the size (200 m²) if you’re prepared to complete the upper floor and modernize systems and interiors.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Upper floor shown 'al grezzo' — needs finishing (floors, plaster, services).
- Ground-floor rooms and bathrooms are dated and will need updating.
- Garden is large but overgrown and requires clearing/landscaping.
- Confirm status of utilities/permits before purchase.
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.
