See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (AstaGiudiziaria) — auction sales are a legal/procedural veto. Price €28,500 for 169 m² plus estimated €200/m² renovation equals ~€62,300 total (~€369/m²), slightly above the regional median €350/m²; the listing facts also contradict the description (0 baths listed but bathrooms described).
More on the house and the area
Solid, lived-in three-storey farmhouse unit set in a quiet, vineyard/wooded rural setting with a small yard and outbuilding/garage. The building looks structurally intact and ready to occupy with normal updating, but it lacks a spectacular view or historic features — its main appeal is affordability and usable country space.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Unit is part of a multi-family farmhouse with shared courtyard/entrances — not a fully independent villa.
- Photos show only exteriors — interior quality is not visible despite 'habitable' status, so expect some updating.
- No energy class shown; cosmetic works (shutters, balcony, finishes) and checks on services may be needed.
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 62/100Cassinasco sits in the Langa Astigiana, on the hill country between the Bormida valley and the higher Langhe. The Bormida di Millesimo valley is nearby, and the area is known for woodland, vineyards, hazelnut groves and small hill villages. Canelli is the nearest town of size, with rail services, wine cellars and the core of the Asti Spumante and Moscato area. This part of southern Asti is tied to the wine landscape that continues toward the Langhe, with rolling ridges rather than major alpine relief.
