This is a judicial auction (ASTA) — auctions carry legal and title risks. Listed at EUR 84,000 (EUR 193/m2) vs regional baseline EUR 306/m2, but estimated renovation ~EUR 200/m2 raises the effective cost to about EUR 393/m2, so treat as an auction risk.
More on the house and the area
Large ex‑rural house with garage, barn/fienile and a strip of land — great value for the size and a genuinely rural setting. The main body is described as partially renovated and habitable, but the agricultural spaces and lack of listed bathrooms mean some work is needed before full comfortable living.
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€29,000 – €48,000
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 sold via auction — verify title/charges and consult an attorney.
- Listing shows 0 bathrooms on record — expect to add/upgrade sanitary facilities.
- Contains agricultural outbuildings (stalla/fienile) and partially finished spaces that will need conversion/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 58/100The cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the hills between the Langhe and Monferrato systems, with vineyard and woodland slopes around the river plain. The Bormida river runs through the area. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and thermal baths. This part of southern Piemonte is known for wine landscapes and mixed vine-covered hills, but the strongest named wine zones are outside the immediate 15 km radius.
