See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the property appears to need full restoration (estimated €1,100/m² × 215 m²). That gives an effective cost ≈ €260k (≈€1,210/m²) versus the regional baseline of €350/m², so auction status plus heavy rehab needs make this a poor buy for a liveable dwelling.
More on the house and the area
The interiors photographed are bright and recently refitted (modern kitchen and bathroom) so parts of the house feel close to move‑in. However the lot is mixed: there are rustic/unfinished areas, a collapsing outbuilding to be demolished and an unpaved terrace/cellar works to complete, and the sale is by auction so careful technical and legal checks are needed.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€85,000 – €126,000
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.
- Property sold at auction — perform full legal/title checks
- Mixed condition: parts look newly finished but other areas need repair or demolition (collapsing wooden shed)
- Terrace waterproofing unfinished and cellar contains a makeshift/fatiscent bathroom
- Shared/common courtyard access; full scope of works unclear
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Langhe area, on vineyard hills between the Bormida valleys. This part of southern Asti is continuous wine country, with ridges, small woods and farmed slopes; Loazzolo is known for Moscato di Loazzolo DOC and hazelnuts are common in the wider landscape. Canelli, the nearest town of size, has rail services, shops and wineries, and its historic wine cellars are part of the UNESCO vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato.
