In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing is a judicial auction: price €42,188 for 176 m²; estimated renovation €200/m² yields an effective price ≈ €77,388 total (~€440/m²) versus the regional median of €305/m². Buying at auction has legal/financial risks, so this listing is treated as a trap until reviewed by a lawyer.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, affordable family house in a small hill-top Piedmont hamlet with a terrace, garage and pleasant countryside surroundings — very good bargain for the size. The property is habitable but dated with visible roof repairs and will need cosmetic updating and legal checks via the auction process before purchase.
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 roof repairs / mixed roofing materials — likely maintenance work needed.
- Photos show dated interiors and clutter; cosmetic renovation expected.
- Property is an auction lot — require legal due diligence and verification of utilities/bathroom situation.
- Narrow hamlet road and rural location mean limited local services and possible access constraints.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the hills of the Astigiano, with vine-covered slopes and small patches of mixed farmland typical of the Monferrato landscape. The Tanaro valley lies nearby to the south, and Asti is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, rail connections, and a substantial historic centre. This part of the province is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato vineyards; the wine landscape of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato has UNESCO status, with core areas spread across southern Piemonte.
