In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 (€780/m²), this habitable apartment with a garage and two large terraces is priced above the €667/m² local benchmark; allowing roughly €10,000 for updating brings the effective cost to about €980/m². The low condominium fees are a positive, but the energy class G and third-floor position limit the value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable small apartment with two unusually generous covered terraces, leafy surroundings, and an open rural outlook. It is more charming than beautiful, with a dated 1980s feel and no standout historic or architectural character, but the €39,000 price and included garage make it an appealing real-home bargain.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Interior condition and kitchen/bathroom finishes are not shown.
- Energy class G suggests high running costs and likely dated insulation.
- The broad terraces and roof structure should be checked for maintenance and waterproofing.
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 56/100The area sits in the lower Piedmont hills between the Orba and Lemme valleys, with mixed farmland, woods and low ridgelines rather than high mountains. The Orba river is nearby, and the landscape is shaped by its plain and the first rises of the Apennine foothills. The nearest larger town is Novi Ligure, which has the main services, rail connections and a substantial built-up area. Gavi is nearby and the area is known for Gavi wine from the hills around the fortress town.
