Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale/asta) and the listing text contradicts the the listing (description gives 141.35 m² while the listing show 279 m²). Assuming a conservative €700/m² renovation, the effective price would be €267,750 (~€960/m²), so this is not a normal retail purchase.
More on the house and the area
Bright, modern interiors and newly tiled bathrooms suggest a mostly-renovated, livable apartment, but the style is generic rather than characterful. The building exterior and lack of views reduce the dream‑home appeal — suitable as an affordable, practical home rather than a picturesque Italian fantasy.
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€55,000 – €98,000
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 uses indicative/stock images — photos may not be of the actual apartment.
- Gallery contains staged/CGI or inconsistent photos alongside real shots.
- Exterior looks like a plain multi‑storey block with no scenic view; interior is modern but generic.
- Some rooms appear unfinished (shower tray, tiled/wet areas) so minor works may be needed.
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 72/100The Ligurian Apennines surround Torriglia, with wooded ridges and passes at the head of the Trebbia valley. The Trebbia rises in this area, and the upper valley is one of the main landscape features within reach. The Parco naturale regionale dell'Antola lies here, centred on Monte Antola and the high meadows and forests above the village. There are no major ski lifts locally; the nearest small Apennine ski areas are in the inland Genovese-Piacentino zone and are minor. Genoa is the nearest large city, reached over the inland passes, with full city services, rail hubs and the port. The area is known in Liguria for mountain walking, chestnut woods and the Canestrelletto di Torriglia biscuit tradition.
