What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €25,000 for 144 sqm, the asking price is only €174/sqm versus a €500/sqm local baseline, a strong discount. But it is explicitly 'da ristrutturare completamente', so the renovation burden is very high at about €1,100/sqm, making it a good project rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine Ligurian village charm: stone exterior, olive trees, a little outdoor space and a lovely green mountain outlook. But the house is clearly very worn, with visible moisture damage and dated interiors, so it reads as a real renovation project rather than an easy move-in home. At €25k for 144 sqm, the price helps the dream, but the condition keeps it in the mid band.
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€57,000 – €84,000
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.
- Needs complete renovation; heavy damp, cracked plaster and very tired interiors are visible.
- Livability is basic at best despite kitchen and bathroom being present.
- Access is non-carriage road and about 100 m from parking.
- Some ancillary spaces are rough/unfinished and may need structural checks.
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 sits in the upper Arroscia valley in the Ligurian Alps, with wooded ridges and narrow valley slopes around the town. The Arroscia river runs through Pieve di Teco. The Ligurian coast at Imperia is outside the immediate landscape but is the nearest sea access for daily life. The nearest larger centre is Imperia, with full services and rail connections on the coast. This part of western Liguria is known for olive growing in the lower valleys and for mountain roads leading toward Colle di Nava and the inland villages of the Arroscia valley.
