With an estimated €200/m² refresh the effective price is about €131,000 (≈€728/m²) vs the local median of ≈€350/m², so this is roughly double typical prices. The house is habitable with a new roof and a recently redone ground-floor bathroom, but most finishes are original.
More on the house and the area
A solid, immediately usable 180 m² town house with a pretty stucco-and-brick façade, balcony and a small private courtyard; the property shows lovely original details (decorative ceiling mouldings, high ceilings and classic tiled floors). The roof is new and one ground-floor bathroom has been redone, but most finishes are original so a sensible modernization would make this an attractive, affordable family home close to Alessandria.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 finishes largely original and dated — cosmetic and systems updates likely needed
- Small, street-facing cortiletto (limited private outdoor space) and bins visible in photos
- Bathrooms (one is recently done, the other is old) and kitchen will probably need renovation
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 39/100The area sits in the Bormida plain around Alessandria, with flat to gently rolling agricultural land and the Bormida river system close by. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full range of everyday services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. To the south and west, beyond the immediate 15 km landscape, the Monferrato hills and the Langhe are part of the wider province and region, but they are not the dominant setting here. This part of Piemonte is known for mixed farming and for its position on the road and rail corridor between Turin, Genoa and the lower Po plain.
