In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (AstaGiudiziaria) with price €16,780 (≈€81/m²) versus the regional baseline €355/m² — auction status carries legal and acquisition risks. The property is listed as habitable (we estimate ≈€200/m² renovation), but the auction process makes this high-risk and unsuitable as a straightforward purchase.
More on the house and the area
An end‑terrace village house set in a quiet borgata with green lawn, portico and open countryside/wooded views — very attractive setting. The property is listed as habitable with bedrooms and a ground‑floor bathroom, and at €16.8k it’s a serious bargain; still visit to confirm interior condition, services and auction/legal status.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Terraced/end‑unit — shared building and limited privacy
- Only exterior photos shown — inspect interiors before bidding
- Check heating/energy certification and utilities
- Purchase is via judicial auction — verify legal/charge details
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Roero–Monferrato hill country, with cultivated ridges and small valleys typical of the Asti area. The Tanaro river lies to the west, and the nearest larger towns are Asti and Alba, which provide the main services, rail links, and a substantial historic centre. This part of Piemonte is known for vineyards, hazelnuts, and mixed wine-and-farm countryside.
