What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €400/m², the €60,000 asking price is attractive, but allowing €200/m² for its merely discrete/habitable condition brings the effective cost to about €600/m² versus the Liguria townhouse baseline of €538/m². The rural hillside location near Dego, 18 km from the sea, limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 150 sqm Ligurian townhouse with a pleasant valley outlook, sunny exterior, and a useful covered outdoor area. The house is clearly a real, functioning home with floors, kitchen, bathrooms, and multiple rooms, but it is dated and needs meaningful cosmetic renovation rather than being move-in ready. At €60,000, the size and setting create a strong value 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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and show peeling paint, damp staining, and general wear.
- Kitchen and bathrooms are basic and likely need modernization.
- The property appears livable, but the condition of utilities, heating, roof, and wiring is not shown.
- Its hillside location and outdoor access may mean limited convenience and car dependence.
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.
