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 €480/m², the €48,000 asking price is about 11% below comparable local homes, but dated 1960s finishes and systems, single glazing, and a bathroom to redo suggest roughly €400/m² in modernization costs. The historic-center setting and cellar/terrace add appeal, although Aurigo is inland and the effective cost becomes less compelling after renovation.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable 100 sqm village townhouse in a characterful Ligurian historic center, with cobbled lanes, old stonework, an archway, balcony and ample traditional living space. It is habitable rather than a shell, but visually ordinary inside and clearly dated, with the bathroom and likely energy performance needing improvement. At €48,000, the combination of size, three bedrooms and authentic borgo atmosphere gives it appealing value, though it lacks a dramatic view or garden.
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, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- The bathroom needs renovation and the interiors retain dated 1960s finishes and systems.
- Single glazing and stove-based heating may mean weaker comfort and higher modernization costs.
- The home is on a narrow pedestrian lane, with public parking about 30 meters away; no private outdoor space is clearly shown.
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 68/100The cluster is in the low Ligurian Alps and upper Impero valley, with wooded slopes, olive terraces and narrow valleys. The Impero river runs through Borgomaro and the valley continues down toward Imperia. The nearest coast is the Riviera dei Fiori around Imperia, about 13 km away, but it is outside the immediate inland landscape and does not raise the score. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full services, a port and rail access. This part of western Liguria is known for Taggiasca olives and olive oil.
