See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the description says the buildings are dirute, without roof and windows, in abandoned ruin condition, which is an automatic veto. At €87,870 plus roughly €292,600 renovation (209 sqm × €1,400/sqm, likely more given the missing roof), the effective cost is far above the €438/sqm baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is not a livable cheap Italian home but a full ruin project. The only real appeal shown is a small 300 sqm plot near town and relatively close to the sea, but the buildings are explicitly roofless and abandoned, so the dream factor is very low as-is.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,400/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€83,000 – €122,000
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 residential units are described as ruins with no roof and no windows/doors.
- Requires complete reconstruction, not renovation.
- No bathroom or heating is present.
- Access to the land is via a gate onto a road owned by third parties.
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 71/100The Maritime Alps rise immediately inland above the lower Argentina valley. The Argentina river reaches the sea at Arma di Taggia. The nearest substantial town is Sanremo, which has full services, a marina and rail connections. This stretch of the Riviera di Ponente is known for olive cultivation, especially Taggiasca olives, and for a built coastal strip backed very quickly by steep inland valleys.
