In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €780/m², the asking price is already above comparable local stock at €667/m²; allowing about €200/m² for a habitable but not renovated home puts the effective cost near €980/m². The apartment has independent heating, a balcony, terrace and 11 photos, but the listing does not say when it was built or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, usable home with a large kitchen, bedrooms, heating, balconies and outdoor garden space. The strongest feature is the broad mountain view beyond the garden, while the interiors are practical but dated and lack distinctive character.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Interiors and kitchen are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The garden appears attractive, but ownership or private-use rights are not clear from the photos.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a four-room home.
- The apartment is in a conventional multi-unit building rather than a distinctive historic property.
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 58/100The cluster sits in the plain at the foot of the Ligurian Alps and the first Maritime Alpine valleys, with open views toward the alpine arc around Mondovì and Cuneo. The Corsaglia valley and the lower Tanaro basin are the main nearby landforms. The nearest town of size is Mondovì, which has a substantial upper historic centre, services and rail connections. The Langhe hills begin not far to the east, but the immediate surroundings are mainly agricultural plain and low foothills.
