With habitable condition I estimate renovation at 200 €/m² => €21,400, so effective price ≈ €70,400 or ~€658/m², well above the regional median of €349/m². The house is independent on three sides with two garages and many photos, but even accounting for that the effective price makes it overpriced versus local comparables.
More on the house and the area
Solid, immediately habitable townhouse with attractive original terrazzo/marble floors and lots of natural light. Not a scenic or historic setting, but a very practical, affordable home that will reward modest modernization.
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.
- Dated 1970s finishes — needs cosmetic updating (kitchen, decoration).
- Only one bathroom and bedrooms are modest in size.
- Street‑facing townhouse with no visible private garden/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 68/100This is the Monferrato hill country, with low ridges, vineyards, arable fields and small woods around the village. The area lies close to the Val Rilate and the wider Tanaro basin landscape. Asti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, rail connections and services. The wider area is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato denominations, and for mixed vineyard-and-farm countryside typical of the Astigiano.
