What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 115 sqm, the asking price is €739/sqm; with a light habitable-home allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €939/sqm. That is far above the local baseline of €350/sqm for Piemonte townhouses, so despite the solid description (newer boiler, roof redone, 33 photos) this looks expensive for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, genuinely habitable townhouse with clean rooms, heating, a recent roof and no obvious major structural issues. The outside is simple and practical, with a small balcony and courtyard parking, but it lacks standout beauty, views or period charm. At €85k for 115 sqm it feels usable and good value rather than dream-home wow.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Exterior and courtyard are functional rather than scenic.
- Interiors are plain and dated, likely needing cosmetic updating.
- No meaningful view or strong historic character shown.
- Small bathroom count for a 115 sqm two-level home.
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 58/100The area lies in the hills between the lower Scrivia valley and the first Ligurian Apennines. The Scrivia river runs nearby, and to the south the landscape rises toward the Appennino Ligure and the Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo. Serravalle Scrivia is the nearest larger centre for everyday services, and Alessandria and Genoa are the nearest cities of size beyond it. Gavi is close by and the area is known for Gavi DOCG vineyards and for fortified hill towns on the Piedmont-Liguria route.
