In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing is habitable but priced at €51k for 143 m²; adding an estimated €200/m² refit (≈€28.6k) gives an effective €79.6k or ≈€557/m², well above the regional median of €349/m². Good photos, garage and terrace help, but the effective cost makes this an ordinary/fair value rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful characterful interior — original brick barrel vaults and a stone fireplace give real charm. The house is habitable with working kitchen and bathrooms but needs cosmetic refresh to restore finishes and remove minor damage.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- Cosmetic refurbishment needed (peeling paint, scuffs and general wear).
- Some rooms show clutter/repairs required despite being habitable.
- No exterior/garden or notable views shown in the photos.
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 66/100This is the Alto Monferrato hill country, with vine-covered ridges, small woods and mixed farmland around the Belbo valley. Nizza Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with services and a substantial historic centre, and Asti is the larger city used for higher-order services and rail connections. The wider area is known for Monferrato wines, especially Barbera, and for a landscape of vineyards and hilltop villages; parts of the Monferrato wine landscape in the province are included in the UNESCO vineyard landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, though not every nearby comune falls inside the core site.
