What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 330 sqm, the ask is only €258/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €387/sqm, but the house is still unfinished internally. Using about €500/sqm to complete installations, layout and finishes, the effective cost is roughly €758/sqm, which makes it a decent but not exceptional buy given the amount of work remaining.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial Ligurian house with a pleasant mountain-village setting, a tidy pastel exterior, and some nice open views from the windows. The big plus is that it is clearly a real house with roof, stairs, floors and updated windows, not a shell; however the interiors are visibly unfinished and need real renovation before comfortable living. At the price and size, it has bargain appeal more than true dream-home wow.
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€38,000 – €64,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Interiors are mid-renovation rather than ready to live in
- Some rooms show stripped walls, exposed services and unfinished surfaces
- Roadside setting with visible wires reduces romance
- Outdoor space is modest and quite utilitarian

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Scrivia valley and side valleys between wooded ridges. The Scrivia river runs through the area, and the Val Noci reservoir lies nearby at Montoggio. The immediate landscape is inland hill and lower-mountain country with chestnut and mixed woodland rather than coast. Genoa is the nearest major city, with full services, port and rail connections. This part of inland Genoa is known for small Apennine villages and for access from the city into the interior valleys.
