This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale / RGE / PVP), which is sold via asta and triggers a veto against a normal purchase. Listed at €94,125 for 378 m²; I used the stated condition (Habitable) and estimated €200/m² renovation for cost comparisons.
More on the house and the area
The interior photos show a recently finished, neutral and habitable apartment (new flooring, lighting and doors) that would need little work to live in. It lacks historic character, attractive views or private garden space visible in images, so it’s a practical, modestly appealing home rather than a dream Italian character house.
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€25,000 – €42,000
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 notes the images may be indicative and not the actual unit — photos may not match the property.
- No finished bathroom is shown in the real photos and the facts list 0 baths — check sanitary installations.
- The unit looks to sit in a modern apartment block with small high windows and limited external views.
- The terrace/green area is described as separate and not directly connected to the living space.
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.
