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 €73,000 (€292/m²), the home is below the €355/m² Piemonte townhouse baseline, but its habitable-condition estimate adds about €50,000 in renovation/modernization costs, bringing effective cost to roughly €492/m². Two independent apartments, four garages, heating and only 11 days on market support the price, but the effective cost is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A large, fully roofed and apparently habitable two-level townhouse offering two independent apartments, a long balcony, heating, and four garages. It is practical rather than picturesque: the interiors are usable but old-fashioned, and the roadside setting provides no visible scenic view or garden. At €73,000 for 250 m², the unusually low price per square metre is the main appeal.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 interiors are clearly dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating, especially the kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and finishes.
- The house fronts directly onto a road, so traffic noise and privacy should be checked.
- Energy performance and the condition of the roof, systems, and four garages are not documented in the photos.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and passes around Voltaggio and the upper Lemme valley. The Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo lies within the area, with reservoirs, beech and chestnut woods, and paths on the watershed toward Monte Tobbio. Genoa is the nearest large city for services and transport, while Novi Ligure is the nearest sizable town on the plain with everyday shopping and rail connections. The area is known for mountain pasture, woods, and the historic road link between Piedmont and Genoa over the Apennine passes.
