This is a judicial auction for a 1,300 m² rural complex listed at €17,205 but described as in precario stato with collapsed portici and demolition/regularization needed. Estimated restoration ≈ €1,100/m² → effective price ≈ €1,113/m² (vs regional baseline €261/m²); listing also warns photos are indicative and notes cadastral irregularities.
More on the house and the area
This is a large historic cascina offered as a deep‑discount project — the listing text describes collapse and demolition, so it’s not move‑in. Photos here look modern and staged, so treat imagery as non‑representative; the site would be a dramatic but costly restoration rather than an immediately livable dream home.
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€515,000 – €761,000
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.
- Listing images are indicative and not the real photos of the property
- Description reports a rural complex in precarious condition with a collapsed portico and volumes to demolish — heavy restoration required
- No bathrooms recorded in the facts (baths: 0) and there are cadastral/planimetric irregularities
- Property is of historical/artist interest which may add legal constraints and costs
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 hills and low ridges at the edge of the Apennines, between the lower Scrivia valley and the first rises toward the Ligurian watershed. The Scrivia river runs nearby, and the landscape around Novi Ligure is a mix of cultivated plains, vineyard and orchard country, and wooded slopes toward Gavi and the Val Borbera side. The nearest larger city is Alessandria, while Novi Ligure itself functions as the main service town for this part of southeastern Piemonte, with rail links, shops and hospitals. Gavi is close by, with its hilltop fort dominating the local landscape. This area is known for Gavi wine and for being a corridor between the Po plain and Genoa.
