Price €96k plus estimated €200/m² renovation (~€39k) gives an effective price ≈€692/m², well above the regional baseline of €308/m², so it reads as overpriced despite the 2,000 m² of land, barn and 26 photos. The description's area math (house 150 m² + annex 90 m²) does not match the advertised 195 m² and building year/energy class are not provided.
More on the house and the area
A solid, immediately habitable village house with a private garden, barn and about 2,000 m² of nearby farmland and lovely valley views. Interiors are dated but liveable; the outbuilding and some finishes will need renovation. Great location and price for someone wanting a countryside home near Acqui Terme.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Interior is dated and needs modernization despite being habitable
- Annex/stables/fienile need renovation and clearing
- Only one bathroom for the size of the house
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.
