See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a 1/2 share being sold at auction and the listing states serious structural issues (roof leaks, obsolete/absent systems, no heating), so legal/transactional complications apply. I estimate full renovation at ~€1,100/m², giving an effective ~€1,146/m² versus the regional reference €308/m², so this is a risky auctioned half‑share rather than a straightforward buy.
More on the house and the area
Large town house with a substantial private garden (~460 m²) and a 29 m² garage — excellent size and a clear bargain at ~€21k. However the building is described in poor condition with structural issues, leaks and obsolete/absent systems, so this is a renovation project rather than a move‑in home.
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€182,000 – €269,000
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 offered as a 1/2 share in a judicial auction — check legal/title implications before bidding.
- Perizia reports serious structural and finishing problems (roof/balcony infiltrations, rising damp).
- Electrical, plumbing and heating are obsolete or absent — major systems work required.
- No actual photos of the house/interiors in the gallery; condition must be confirmed on inspection.
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 52/100The cluster lies in the lower Curone-Grue-Ossona area on the edge of the Tortona plain, with mixed fields and low hills rather than a marked mountain setting. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the first ridges of the Apennine foothills rise south of Tortona. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, services and rail links. This part of south-eastern Piemonte is known for wine, fruit growing and mixed farming.
