What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €470/m², the asking price is slightly below the local €514/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €30,000 for personalization and upgrades brings the effective cost to about €770/m². The house appears usable and has a terrace, parking and garden potential, though its inland location 21 km from the sea and unspecified condition limit the deal’s appeal.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 58/100The cluster is in the Bormida valley on the Ligurian Apennine side, with wooded hills and low mountain ridges around it. The Bormida di Millesimo runs through this part of the valley. The nearest larger town is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main shops, services and rail connections for the upper Val Bormida. This inland part of western Liguria is known for forested uplands, small stone villages and mixed farming between the coast and the Piedmont plain.
