Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (€784/m²), this spacious 125 m² apartment is priced below comparable local stock, with two bathrooms, elevator access, autonomous heating and a central historic-center location. It appears habitable but needs modernization, estimated at about €300/m², bringing the effective cost close to the local norm rather than making it a deep bargain.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely spacious, livable apartment in Carcare’s historic center, with two balconies overlooking the stream, old bridge, town rooftops, and surrounding hills. The interiors are dated but solid and functional, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, heating, an elevator, and attractive original wood flooring. It is more a characterful full-time home than a dream renovation showcase.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors and kitchen/bathrooms would benefit from modernization.
- The apartment overlooks a partly dry urban stream, with possible seasonal noise or flood-risk questions to verify.
- Central-town position may mean more traffic and everyday urban activity than a secluded home.
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 61/100The cluster lies in the inland hills between the Bormida valley and the Ligurian Apennines. The Bormida di Pallare runs through the area. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri crosses the ridge country nearby, and the regional park of Bric Tana is at Millesimo. The nearest substantial town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services of the upper Val Bormida; Savona on the coast is the nearest larger city. This part of inland Savona is known for wooded ridges, small valley villages and mixed chestnut and beech country rather than for a single landmark.
