See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('data di asta', 'offerta minima'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The listing also contradicts the the listing 'Renovated': the text says the site is unfinished with systems not installed ('cantiere non terminato, impianti da realizzare'), implying roughly €1,100/m² renovation on top of the €145/m² ask.
More on the house and the area
The exterior has genuine rustic Ligurian charm, with stone walls and a small private yard that could become attractive. But inside this is still a raw, unfinished construction site rather than a usable home, with systems still to be completed and no finished bathrooms or kitchen. The ultra-low price helps, yet the current livability is firmly project-level.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€39,000 – €58,000
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.
- Interior is unfinished/al grezzo and not currently livable
- No completed kitchen or bathrooms visible
- Temporary internal stair and ongoing building works
- Auction sale adds legal/process complexity
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 67/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennine hills on the border between Piemonte and Liguria. The Bormida di Spigno valley is the main local river landscape. The Beigua massif and Beigua Regional Nature Park lie to the south within the wider 15 km radius from this position, with Monte Beigua the dominant summit of this part of the range. The nearest ski area is at Prato Nevoso and other Maritime Alpine resorts, well over an hour and not part of the immediate landscape. Acqui Terme is the nearest town of size, with services and its Roman remains and thermal baths; Savona is the nearest larger coastal city for broader services and rail links. Pareto itself has a castle, and this stretch of the Bormida hills is known for mixed woodland, chestnut country and scattered hill villages between the Po-side interior and the Ligurian watershed.
