Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €968/m², the €92,000 asking price is well above the local reference level of €671/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition still gives an effective cost near €1,168/m². Central location, garage, terrace and 29 photos support the offer, but the listing does not state the condition or building age and the G energy class may imply future upgrade costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, move-in-ready 95 sqm apartment with warm, well-maintained interiors, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage, and an unusually generous terrace. The home feels practical and lived-in rather than design-led, while the urban surroundings offer little visual drama. Its strongest appeal is the combination of ready usability and excellent outdoor space.
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€6,000 – €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.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with older finishes and furnishings.
- The large terrace is a major asset, though the surrounding urban outlook is ordinary.
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 area lies in the hills between the lower Scrivia valley and the first Ligurian Apennines. The Scrivia river runs nearby, and to the south the landscape rises toward the Appennino Ligure and the Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo. Serravalle Scrivia is the nearest larger centre for everyday services, and Alessandria and Genoa are the nearest cities of size beyond it. Gavi is close by and the area is known for Gavi DOCG vineyards and for fortified hill towns on the Piedmont-Liguria route.
