Asking €100,000 plus estimated €100/m² renovation (€17,000) yields an effective €117,000 or about €688/m², well above the regional median €355/m²; listing also lacks an energy class and shows only 2 photos, limiting reassurance.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, move-in-ready townhouse with a private paved courtyard, garage and large cellar — good usable space for the price. Not a dramatic scenic or historic property, but a practical, well-kept home in a quiet town at strong value.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Photos show exterior only so interior finishes unknown from images
- Modest town setting (no sea/mountain view)
- Single bathroom, two bedrooms — limited for larger families
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 49/100The cluster lies in the flat to gently rolling countryside between Alessandria and the lower Monferrato, in the belt of fields, poplar groves and scattered farmsteads around the Bormida and Orba basins. The Bormida river runs near Alessandria and the Tanaro plain is close by. Alessandria is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a rail junction and the citadel fortress. To the south the landscape rises toward the Ovadese and the first Ligurian Apennine hills, but the stronger mountain scenery is outside the immediate 15 km radius. This part of the province is known mainly for mixed agriculture and for being a transition zone between the plain and the Monferrato hills.
