This is a judicial auction with an opening bid of €12,656; after an estimated €700/m² renovation (210 m² → €147,000) the effective cost is about €159,650 or ≈€760/m². That is well above the local median of €308/m² and the auction plus missing sanitary/electrical systems increase legal and renovation risk.
More on the house and the area
Large early‑1900s village house with real character (brick vaulted ceilings, stone walls, original stair and fireplace niches) and a terrace — a photogenic shell of a home. Structurally appears solid and roof recently redone, but the interior needs a full renovation (no bath, old wiring, damp) so this is a bargain project rather than a move‑in property.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster lies in the lower hills between the Scrivia and Lemme valleys, on the edge of the Colli Tortonesi and close to the first rises of the Ligurian Apennines. The Scrivia valley is the main local corridor, with Novi Ligure as the nearest larger town, providing rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. Libarna, the Roman archaeological site near Serravalle Scrivia, is within the local area. This part of south-eastern Alessandria is known for vineyards and for Timorasso wine.
