More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable, bright 99 m² apartment with a spacious open-plan living area, three bedrooms, bathroom, terrace, balcony, garage and a small garden. It offers unusually strong value at around €31,000, but the setting and architecture are practical rather than dreamlike, with no standout historic features or spectacular views.
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.
- The home is visually ordinary rather than characterful or historic.
- The terrace and garden are modest, with the main outlook toward a fenced sports field and neighboring buildings.
- Some exterior areas show unfinished utility work and weathering; verify the bathroom and utility details against the listing records.
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 41/100The cluster sits in the lower Piedmont plain around the Orba valley, with the Bormida valley also nearby. This is mixed agricultural country between Alessandria, Novi Ligure and Ovada, with fields, scattered farmhouses and low hills starting farther south toward the Ligurian Apennines. The nearest town of size is Alessandria, which has the main rail and road services of the province, while Novi Ligure is another practical centre nearby. The wider area is known for wine zones and for the approach to the hills of the Ovadese, but within the immediate radius around Predosa the landscape is mainly ordinary lowland countryside.
