This is a judicial auction listing and the description repeatedly refers to large 'deposito'/storage areas, so habitability is unclear. At €7,500 with an estimated €700/m² renovation (222 m² → ≈€163k total, ≈€734/m²) it is high‑risk compared with the regional median €350/m².
More on the house and the area
Interior photos show a clean, recently-renovated apartment with nice floors and a modern bathroom — clearly move-in ready. However the images are likely generic and conflict with the auction description (cellars, deposits, terraces), so verify real photos, floorplans and utilities before bidding.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €78,000
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.
- Photos appear to be generic/stock and the listing warns images are indicative — verify real photos and plans.
- Description and photos don't match (auction text describes cantine, deposit and terraces) — confirm which units are included.
- No evidence of scenic view, garden or historic character in the photos; property may be an apartment in a modern block.
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 61/100Ceva sits in the upper Tanaro valley where the Ligurian Apennines begin, with wooded ridges and low mountains around the town. The Tanaro and Cevetta rivers meet here. The area is a road and rail gateway between inland Piemonte and the Ligurian side, with hills, valley floors and mixed woodland rather than a single protected landmark landscape. Mondovì is the nearest larger town of size, with a historic upper town and full services. This part of southern Piemonte is known for hazelnuts, mixed farming and as the approach to the Alta Val Tanaro and the Ligurian Alps farther south.
