See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (auction sales are a veto for our catalog). With an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is €134,000 (≈€547/m²) versus the local median €306/m², and the listing data also inconsistently shows 0 bathrooms despite the description.
More on the house and the area
Attractive brick villa with gothic-arched windows, a walled garden and real period character — very photogenic and a strong bargain for €85k. Listed as habitable, so it could be lived in with modest updating, but verify interior condition and auction/legal details before bidding.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Property is being sold at auction — there can be legal/timing complexities and additional costs
- Only exterior photo provided; interior condition and finishes are not shown and should be checked

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 42/100The area lies on the flat plain of the Po, with the Po River a few kilometres to the north and broad cultivated land around the town. The nearest larger centre is Alessandria, which provides the main rail and road services, hospitals and larger retail. Casale Monferrato is nearby and marks the edge of the lower Monferrato hills, but those hills are outside the immediate plain around Valenza. The area is known nationally for jewellery and goldsmithing linked to Valenza itself.
