What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €35,000 but requires heavy works; at €700/m² renovation cost that’s ≈€210,000 of works → effective price ≈€245,000 or ≈€817/m². That is well above the local baseline of €356/m², so despite the large garden and many photos this is expensive once renovated.
More on the house and the area
Roomy, roofed town house with a generous private garden and a separate rustico — real potential for a family home. The structure looks solid but requires comprehensive renovation and updating; excellent price for 300 m² close to the town centre.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs comprehensive renovation (windows, systems, finishes).
- Only one bathroom for 3 bedrooms — layout work likely needed.
- Garden is overgrown and external facades/balcony need repairs.
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.
