The €79,000 asking price is attractive at €316/m² versus the local €336/m² reference, with a garden, garage and two parking spaces. However, one of the two units still needs work; allowing roughly €500/m² brings the effective cost to about €816/m², while the listing does not specify the renovation scope, building year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably spacious historic village house with vaulted rooms, original tiled floors, a large garden, and an appealing raised terrace overlooking mature greenery. It is a real home with kitchen, bathrooms, heating, and furnishings in place, but only one of the two units is described as renovated; the other needs meaningful work.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €49,000
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.
- Two adjoining units have very different conditions; one requires renovation.
- The house appears dated, with worn finishes, aging fixtures, and some visible damp or plaster deterioration.
- The large garden and outbuildings may require substantial upkeep.
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 56/100The area sits in the hills and low ridges at the edge of the Apennines, between the lower Scrivia valley and the first rises toward the Ligurian watershed. The Scrivia river runs nearby, and the landscape around Novi Ligure is a mix of cultivated plains, vineyard and orchard country, and wooded slopes toward Gavi and the Val Borbera side. The nearest larger city is Alessandria, while Novi Ligure itself functions as the main service town for this part of southeastern Piemonte, with rail links, shops and hospitals. Gavi is close by, with its hilltop fort dominating the local landscape. This area is known for Gavi wine and for being a corridor between the Po plain and Genoa.
