Alfiano Natta, in the hills of Monferrato

The hills of Monferrato, with villages perched on their knolls and roads running along the ridges, frame Alfiano Natta, a small municipality in the province of Alessandria. The main village lies at around 280 metres, and the area includes hamlets and scattered houses among fields and woods. There are few services in the village itself: for secondary schools, the hospital and shopping, people drive to the larger towns.

Buyers here are usually after a detached house with land, a rustic building to restore or a farmhouse. These properties need careful checks: the state of the roof, damp in brick walls, the heating system, access in winter and whether extensions and lean-tos are properly authorised. On the hills the ground is not the same everywhere, and the report checks the address against the official landslide maps as well as measuring its elevation and slope.

Alfiano Natta had 686 residents in 2023, 68 fewer than in 2011 (down 9.0%). The estimated average age is 49.8, against 48.9 for the province, and over-65s make up 29.4%. Foreign residents are 7.6%. Average declared income is a little lower than in the province.

Seismic hazard is low: the municipality is in zone 4, like 59 other municipalities in the province, while the remaining 127 are in zone 3. Expected acceleration is about 0.039 g. In older country houses it is still worth asking when the roof was last worked on.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps for Alfiano Natta: from the address the report reaches the land parcel, which also helps you see how much land really goes with a house.
