- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Alessandria) and the unit is occupied by the debtor; the listing also gives inconsistent size data (ad: 168 m² vs facts: 343 m²). Using ~€700/m² renovation yields an effective price ≈€782/m² (total ≈€268k), well above the local baseline €350/m², so this looks like a risky auction purchase.
More on the house and the area
Photos show clean, modern-finish rooms and a fitted bathroom, but the building and street view are plain and not scenic. The low price is the main draw, yet the unit is described as occupied and needing renovation/legal work, so this is a bargain-for-project rather than a ready-to-move-in dream home.
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€68,000 – €121,000
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.

- Listing states images are indicative and may not be photos of the actual unit.
- Property is reported as occupied by the debtor (auction sale) — expect legal/possession complexity.
- Official listing notes the unit "needs renovation" despite some photos showing finished rooms; utilities/finishes may be incomplete.
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.
