Asking €99,000 for 150 m² = €660/m²; assuming modest remaining energy/finish work (~€100/m² → +€15,000) gives an effective €114,000 or ≈€760/m², far above the regional baseline of €349/m² despite Superbonus energy upgrades and many photos, so this is overpriced for the market.
More on the house and the area
Charming independent house near Asti with a private garden, small balcony and attractive historic details (brick vaulted ceiling and an old fireplace). The building is habitable and benefited from energy upgrades but many interior rooms are still in a stripped/renovation state and will need finishing work.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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 – €8,000
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.
- Interiors are partially stripped and need finishing/fit‑out
- Several outbuildings/annexes appear dilapidated
- Verify exact status of utilities, permits and Superbonus work remaining
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.
