Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction listing (asta), which is treated as a veto. Estimated renovation €200/m² → effective price €51,400 (≈€459/m²), above Piemonte median €306/m²; the listing also has inconsistent data (description mentions a bathroom but baths field is 0 and only 1 photo).

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Simple, habitable terraced villa with a small private garden, garage and cellar — liveable now but likely needs cosmetic updating. Very low price makes it an attractive bargain for a buyer prepared to handle an auction purchase and minor renovation.

Updating, not renovation
€22,000 – €32,000

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€7,000 – €12,000

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.

Asking price + this range
€51,000 – €61,000
What worries us about this house
  • Only one exterior photo provided — interior condition and systems are unclear
  • Offered at auction — purchase requires dealing with legal/administrative steps and possible delays
  • Terraced/row layout means shared walls and limited private outdoor space

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 52/100

This area lies on the Bormida and Tanaro plain at the meeting point of the Tanaro valley with the lower hills of Monferrato. The Tanaro and Bormida rivers are the main landscape features close to the town. To the west and northwest, within this radius, the land starts to rise into the Monferrato hills with vineyards and mixed farmland. Alessandria is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a historic centre, rail junction and hospital. The wider area is known for wine production in Monferrato and for flat agricultural land around the river confluence.
