This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is only €162/m² versus a €318/m² baseline, auctions are scored as traps due to the legal/process risk.
More on the house and the area
The wow comes from the interior character: decorative ceilings, grand wooden doors, wrought-iron staircase and terrazzo floors give it real period presence. It appears to be a substantial, usable home rather than a shell, but the outside and location feel ordinary and urban, with no view or garden magic visible. At this price and size it has strong bargain appeal, though the auction format and incomplete interior proof keep it out of the dream-home top tier.
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€27,000 – €45,000
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.
- Street-facing urban setting with no scenic views shown
- Exterior is plain apartment-block style rather than villa-like
- Listing is an auction, so details and final cost/condition should be verified
- No bathroom photos shown despite 'habitable' status
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.
