See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is offered via a judicial auction (Tribunale) which carries legal and procedural risk despite the low price. At €16,032 for 295 m² (€54/m² vs local baseline €350/m²) the discount is large but the auction status makes this unsuitable for a straightforward purchase.
More on the house and the area
The photos show bright, modern interiors and a handsome historic façade — very attractive for city/town living. But the listing is an auction lot requiring renovation and possibly missing finished bathrooms/utilities, so plan for work and legal steps despite the exceptional price.
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€58,000 – €104,000
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.

- No clear private garden/land shown; bathrooms/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.
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.
