See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing (ask for perizia) at €84,400 for ~225 m² (€375/m²) but stated as “needs renovation” so I estimate €700/m² → renovation ≈ €157,500, total ≈ €242k (~€1,075/m²). The auction status and the vendor’s note that area and photos are only indicative make this high risk.
More on the house and the area
Interior photos show bright, high‑ceilinged rooms with new-looking floors and contemporary tiled bathrooms, so parts feel move-in ready; however several bathroom fittings appear incomplete and the exterior façade/courtyard look degraded. Overall a charming, potentially livable townhouse that will need exterior and some technical work — a realistic mid‑range renovation opportunity.
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€45,000 – €79,000
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 mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Some bathrooms/photos show unfinished fittings and exposed plumbing — not all fixtures appear connected.
- Exterior and inner courtyard show heavy peeling plaster and likely need façade/structural upkeep.
- Listing states 'needs renovation' and images may be indicative — verify real unit condition and floorplans 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 82/100The cluster sits in the Langhe hills, with vine-covered ridges and small wooded valleys around Mango. The Belbo valley runs nearby. This is wine country known for Moscato d'Asti and for the broader vineyard landscape of the Langhe. Alba is the nearest substantial town, with services, rail connections and a historic centre. The Langhe-Roero and Monferrato vineyard landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, and Mango is within that wine-growing area.
