Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €47,000 for about 80 m², the effective cost is roughly €63,000 including a modest habitable-home allowance, or €788/m²—about 12% below comparable local stock. The apartment is described as immediately habitable, with a new roof, double glazing, autonomous heating and an unusually valuable 230 m² private garden.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, immediately usable two-bedroom home with warm traditional details, patterned flooring, wood doors, chandeliers, a working pellet stove, and a practical fitted kitchen and bathroom. Its strongest feature is the rare 230 sqm private garden/vegetable plot, though it needs clearing and landscaping; overall it is charming and livable rather than a spectacular dream-home setting.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 private garden is sizable but currently looks overgrown and utilitarian rather than landscaped.
- The apartment is at lower-ground level, and the photos show modest finishes and some dated furnishings.
- No striking panoramic view or especially distinctive Italian setting is shown.
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 63/100The area is in the Ovadese hills between the Ligurian Apennines and the lower Piedmont valleys. The Orba valley runs through Ovada, and the Stura valley is nearby. The Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo lies within the surrounding uplands, with wooded ridges, reservoirs and hiking terrain. The nearest substantial ski area is Santo Stefano d'Aveto in the Ligurian Apennines, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours by road, so it is not a local landscape feature. Ovada is the nearest town of size and has rail links, shops and services; Acqui Terme and Genoa are the larger centres used for wider services and work. The area is known for Dolcetto di Ovada wine and mixed vineyard-and-woodland hill country.
