This is a judicial auction (min. offer €14,175), which carries legal complexity and a higher risk for buyers. With an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is ≈€345/m² (≈€33,775 total for 98 m²), close to the regional median of €350/m², and the listing text mentions a bathroom while the facts list 0 baths (contradiction).
More on the house and the area
A genuine village house with a useful small garden and attractive brick‑vaulted cellar that gives it character. The property is roofed and habitable but tired — bathrooms, kitchen, ceilings and finishes need renovation. At the advertised auction price it’s a strong bargain for someone prepared to do sensible updating.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Clearly dated interior and bathroom — needs modernization
- Visible ceiling cracks and likely repairs to joins/waterproofing required
- Cellar/ground levels show damp risk and need refurbishment
- Access involves external/common passage and stairs, not fully private
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 67/100The area lies in the hilly Alto Monferrato on the Ligurian Apennine foothills, with mixed woods, fields and ridgelines rather than high mountains. The upper valleys of the Orba and Stura are nearby, and the Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo is within this radius, with wooded uplands, reservoirs and walking routes on the provincial border. Gavi is the nearest town of note, with services and the Forte di Gavi. The area is known for woodland hills and for the Gavi wine zone nearby.
