Price €85,000 for 260 m² = €327/m²; because the listing does not state condition (it says “ambienti da organizzare”) I assume €700/m² renovation (~€182k), giving an effective ~€1,027/m², nearly three times the local median €355/m² — makes this an overpriced renovation project despite the large garden and many photos.
More on the house and the area
A roomy two‑storey house with a large private garden and usable outdoor space — rare at this price near Alessandria. Interiors are dated but habitable, so this is a realistic, affordable family home that will reward modest updating rather than a full rebuild.
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€51,000 – €91,000
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.
- Exterior shows peeling plaster and will need cosmetic repair
- Outbuildings/garages are unfinished brick and may need work
- Only one bathroom for a large house — layout updates likely 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 52/100This area lies on the Bormida and Tanaro plain at the meeting point of the Tanaro valley with the lower hills of Monferrato. The Tanaro and Bormida rivers are the main landscape features close to the town. To the west and northwest, within this radius, the land starts to rise into the Monferrato hills with vineyards and mixed farmland. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a historic centre, rail junction and hospital. The wider area is known for wine production in Monferrato and for flat agricultural land around the river confluence.
