Estimated renovation ~€700/m² yields ≈€119k in works (170 m²) for an effective price of ≈€168k total (≈€988/m²), well above the regional median of €349/m². The ad calls the property “pronta da vivere” while the condition is listed as Needs renovation, which is contradictory.
More on the house and the area
Solid, spacious 170 m² bifamiliare with a private garden and pleasant hillside/wooded views — good bones and lots of outdoor space. Interiors are dated but habitable; with cosmetic updates and some exterior repairs this becomes a very affordable family home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €60,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 61/100The cluster lies in the lower hills between the Scrivia and Lemme valleys, on the edge of the Colli Tortonesi and close to the first rises of the Ligurian Apennines. The Scrivia valley is the main local corridor, with Novi Ligure as the nearest larger town, providing rail links, services and a substantial historic centre. Libarna, the Roman archaeological site near Serravalle Scrivia, is within the local area. This part of south-eastern Alessandria is known for vineyards and for Timorasso wine.
