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 €60,000 (€500/m²), the asking price is slightly below the Liguria townhouse baseline of €538/m², but estimated habitable-property costs raise the effective price to about €700/m². The rural Dego location is 20 km from the sea, while the additional stone outbuilding requires renovation and adds uncertain value.
More on the house and the area
A genuine rural Ligurian home in a quiet hamlet, with a broad private garden, wooded valley surroundings, traditional shutters, a covered entrance porch, and a charming original stone outbuilding. The 120 sqm main house is described as habitable with three bedrooms, but it is simple and visibly aged rather than turnkey. At €60,000, the combination of usable living space, land, and future guest-annex potential is compelling.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 habitable but visibly dated, with weathered plaster and likely cosmetic/maintenance work needed.
- The attractive stone outbuilding is a renovation project, not currently an additional livable unit.
- No interior photos are provided, so the kitchen, bathroom, utilities, and actual move-in condition cannot be verified.
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 55/100The cluster lies in the Bormida valley in the inland Ligurian hills, with low Apennine ridges and mixed woods around the settled valley floor. The Bormida di Spigno runs through this area. The nearest larger town in daily use is Cairo Montenotte, which has the main services, shops and rail connections for this part of the valley. Savona and the Ligurian coast are farther away and matter more for logistics than for the immediate landscape. This part of inland western Liguria is known for wooded hills, small valley villages and routes crossing from Liguria into southern Piedmont.
