- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is an auction sale (Tribunale: Asti) which brings legal complexity; listed price €55,500 for 406 m² but described as “needs renovation.” I estimate renovation ≈€700/m² (~€284k), making the effective cost ~€340k and photos are noted as not being the real images.
More on the house and the area
The images show large, bright, loft-style rooms and an attractive brick exterior with character, but the dossier describes a cascina sold at auction that needs renovation. This is a roomy, low‑priced project with real charm, but plan for significant works and verify the actual condition and legal status before dreaming of immediate move‑in.
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€81,000 – €142,000
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 is an auction property — purchase 'as is' with legal/possession risks.
- Ad states the photos are indicative and do NOT represent the real immobile.
- Facts list the building as 'needs renovation' — expect substantial works and checks on utilities/permits.
- No clear exterior land, views or usable garden shown in the photos.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Asti, so the lived setting is an urban plain in the Tanaro valley with surrounding cultivated hills. The Tanaro river runs through the city. South and north of town, within this radius, the landscape is the vineyard and farming hills of Monferrato. Asti is a provincial capital with a substantial historic centre, services, rail connections and Romanesque and Gothic monuments, and it is known for wine, especially Asti Spumante and Moscato.
