See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (ASTA) and carries auction/legal risks, so it’s treated as a trap. Price €49,336 (€274/m²) vs regional median €305/m²; estimated renovation ~€200/m².
More on the house and the area
A solid 1986 villa set in open Piedmont countryside with a bit of land — pleasant rural setting but no dramatic views or historic character. Interiors are habitable but visibly dated with ceiling damage; this is a realistic, good-value fixer rather than a turnkey dream home.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Visible water damage and stained ceilings — repairs required
- Interiors are dated and will need updating (bathroom/kitchen/finishes)
- Rural/peripheral location with limited nearby services
- Property is an auction lot — verify title/charges and follow legal advice
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 area sits in the Tanaro valley between the Monferrato and Langhe hill country, with mixed vineyards, fields and wooded low hills around the river. The Tanaro runs by Rocchetta Tanaro, and the Rocchetta Tanaro Natural Park protects a belt of riparian woodland and hills near the village. Asti is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shops and the main urban services of the province. This part of the Astigiano is known for wine landscapes and vineyard agriculture, though the most famous UNESCO core areas of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are not centered here.
