What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €31,000 for 105 m², the house requires complete renovation; allowing about €1,100/m² puts the effective cost near €1,395/m² versus €397/m² for comparable homes. The 1,000 m² garden adds appeal, but the listing does not state the building year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This traditional Piemonte country house has a photogenic two-story facade with a deep balcony, mature trees, a large garden, and open views toward the surrounding hills. However, the property is a serious renovation project rather than a usable home today; the exterior shows neglected finishes and the listing states that the house needs complete renovation.
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€42,000 – €62,000
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 main house is advertised as needing complete renovation, so it is not move-in ready.
- The garden is heavily overgrown and contains debris, requiring substantial clearing and landscaping.
- Interior condition, utilities, roof structure, and renovation costs are not 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 56/100The area sits in the lower Piedmont hills between the Orba and Lemme valleys, with mixed farmland, woods and low ridgelines rather than high mountains. The Orba river is nearby, and the landscape is shaped by its plain and the first rises of the Apennine foothills. The nearest larger town is Novi Ligure, which has the main services, rail connections and a substantial built-up area. Gavi is nearby and the area is known for Gavi wine from the hills around the fortress town.
