What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (sale ‘in asta’), which triggers a veto. Using the listed condition (habitable) I estimate €200/m² renovation → effective price ≈ €56,200 or ~€694/m² vs regional median €306/m², so it’s well above typical stock; the facts also contradict the description (baths=0 but text mentions a bathroom) and there is only 1 photo.
More on the house and the area
Modest two-storey villa with a covered portico and private garden; the exterior looks habitable but unremarkable. The low price is attractive, but auction sale and lack of interior photos mean buyers should budget time and checks before assuming move-in readiness.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.

- Only one exterior photo provided; interior condition and finishes are unknown
- Energy class/utilities and exact bathroom situation are not documented
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 42/100This cluster sits in the built-up area of Alessandria, in the flat alluvial plain where the Tanaro and Bormida rivers meet. The nearest larger landscape is the Monferrato hill country, which begins outside the city and is known for vineyards and wine villages, but it is not inside the immediate urban setting. Alessandria is a provincial capital with rail links, services, and a substantial urban fabric. The wider area is known for mixed agriculture and river plain country.
