Assuming modest habitable works at €200/m² (≈€61,600), effective total ≈€171,600 or ≈€557/m². That is well above the Piemonte baseline of €350/m², so the listing looks overpriced at €110,000 for 308 m².
More on the house and the area
A charming village townhouse with attractive yellow façades, little balconies and a surprisingly generous private garden plus an atmospheric stone outbuilding. The main building looks structurally intact and clearly liveable with a cosmetic refresh, while the barn will need rebuilding/renovation — excellent value for the price.
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€20,000 – €34,000
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.
- Main house appears sound but interior photos are missing so internal condition/finishes are uncertain
- Stone outbuilding/portico needs restoration before reuse
- Corner location on a street may mean limited privacy and some traffic noise
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 53/100The cluster sits in the Scrivia valley between the lower Piedmont hills and the first Ligurian Apennine ridges. The Scrivia river runs through this area, and within about 15 km the main landscape is a mix of valley floor, cultivated fields and low hills around Tortona and the roads toward the Apennine passes. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a full set of daily services and a historic centre. This part of south-eastern Piedmont is known for wine hills and mixed farming, with Timorasso vineyards established around the Tortona hills.
