In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €22,000 with estimated €200/m² renovation (~€19,400) gives an effective price of €41,400 or about €427/m², which is ~20% above the local median of €356/m². The house is habitable with a good roof, garage and 20 photos, but needs internal refurbishment so it doesn’t beat regional comparables.
More on the house and the area
Charming, high‑ceilinged townhouse with original wooden beam ceilings and a brick fireplace — clearly habitable but dated. Comes with a tiny private courtyard/brick barbecue and a garage; good roof and solid bones make this a realistic, low‑cost home to personalise.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interior is dated and needs cosmetic renovation (kitchen and bathroom refresh).
- Some plaster cracks and signs of wear — expect repairs/updating.
- Rear outbuilding partially open/ruined and may need structural work.
- Small private courtyard (not a large garden) and limited views.
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 53/100This is flat to gently rolling countryside on the edge of the Bormida valley, with fields, scattered woods and low hills, and the Alto Monferrato hills begin a short distance to the north and west. The Bormida river system is the main water landscape in the area. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and thermal baths. The wider area is known for wine hills in Monferrato and for the spa town of Acqui Terme, but the immediate surroundings of Sezzadio are mainly ordinary rural valley landscape.
