What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 (€611/m²), this is well above the local sub-€100k benchmark of €287/m². One of the two units is renovated, but the condition of the other unit and the building’s overall specifications are not stated, so the investment potential does not yet justify the premium.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €32,000
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.
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 62/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately west of Caraglio, with the lower Val Grana and the entrance to the Cuneo valleys within the local landscape. The Grana stream runs through the area and the Stura di Demonte valley is close by. The Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura begins around the Cuneo plain nearby. The nearest substantial town is Cuneo, which provides the main services, rail links and a larger historic centre. This part of the province is known for the transition from the Cuneo plain to the Alpine valleys, for orchards and mixed farming, and for access toward the Occitan valleys of the southwest Piedmont mountains.
