Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15,733 (€123/m²), even allowing about €200/m² for unspecified works, the effective cost is roughly €323/m² versus €345/m² for comparable homes—an attractive but not exceptional discount. Heating, a kitchen, fiber, and a reinforced door suggest useful existing features, but the listing is vague and the stated bathroom count conflicts with the published data.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine old village townhouse with a modest amount of character and an exceptionally low asking price. The roof and main structure appear present, and the listing claims a kitchen, two bathrooms, autonomous heating, and fiber, suggesting a usable home rather than a bare shell—but the weathered exterior likely needs meaningful cosmetic renovation.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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 facade shows substantial peeling plaster and general deferred maintenance.
- There are no interior photos, so the actual condition of the bathrooms, kitchen, roof, and utilities is unverified.
- No garden, terrace, or notable view 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 61/100The cluster sits in the rolling hills of the lower Alto Monferrato on the edge of the Orba valley. The Orba river runs through this part of the province. Within about 15 km are the wine hills around Ovada, a small town with services and rail connections, and the area is known for Dolcetto di Ovada vineyards. The Ligurian Apennines rise not far to the south, but the stronger mountain scenery is outside the immediate radius.
