The photographs say otherwise, and we go by the photographs.

Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction listing (auction), which adds legal complexity and extra costs. At €11,485 plus estimated renovation €74,200 (700 €/m² × 106 m²) the effective price is ≈€85,700 or ~€809/m²—well above the regional baseline of €350/m², so it looks high-risk rather than a clear bargain.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Photos show a bright, modern-feeling interior and a workable kitchen/bath, plus an attractive historic building façade and a view over open countryside. However the ad is for an auction lot and the listing states the property needs renovation and the photos may be illustrative only, so treat this as a strong-value project rather than a guaranteed move-in home.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€37,000 – €53,000

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.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €37,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Listing explicitly says the images are indicative and may not be photos of the actual unit.
  • Property is listed as 'Needs renovation' / auction (RGE) — legal and refurbishment risks apply.
  • Facts show 0 bathrooms which conflicts with bathroom photos — sanitary situation unclear.
  • Auction sale means timelines, fees and possible occupancy issues must be checked.

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 68/100

The area sits in the Alto Monferrato hills, with vineyard slopes, mixed woods and low ridges rather than high mountains. The Bormida river system runs through the Acqui Terme area. Acqui Terme itself is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, Roman remains and thermal baths. Within this part of southern Piedmont the landscape is known for wine hills and spa culture, with Monferrato wine country extending around the town.
