This is a judicial auction (Tribunale notice) for an 'unità al rustico' in corso di costruzione while the listing claims 'Renovated' — a clear contradiction. Estimating finishing at €1,100/m² gives an effective price ≈€1,173/m² (total ≈€258k), so treat this as an auctioned, non-habitable asset rather than a normal house deal.
More on the house and the area
The photos show bright, modern, move-in-ready interiors and clean new bathrooms, which are very attractive. However the legal description and seller note indicate this is an unfinished shell and the images may be illustrative only, so expect significant finishing work and due‑diligence rather than a turnkey farmhouse.
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€87,000 – €129,000
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.
- Listing states the unit is 'al rustico' (unfinished/in costruzione) — likely an unfinished shell despite the photos.
- Advert says the photos are only indicative and may not represent the actual property.
- Property is offered via auction/foreclosure — check the perizia, planimetry and utilities before bidding.
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 61/100Frinco sits in the hills of the Basso Monferrato, with cultivated slopes, small woods and scattered villages. The nearest river of note is the Tanaro, which runs south of this part of the Asti area. Asti is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a substantial historic centre and rail connections. This area is known for vineyards, mixed farming and the wider Monferrato wine landscape.
