See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction lot that needs heavy renovation; at €700/m² the work totals ≈€65,800, making the effective price ≈€79,970 (≈€852/m²). That effective €/m² is far above the regional typical €306/m² and the auction status plus missing heating and non‑compliant electrics make this a risky purchase.
More on the house and the area
A small rural house with character — vaulted brick cantina (infernotto) and a working fireplace plus a little private garden. The building is intact and lived‑in (bathroom, floors, roof present) but needs electrical, heating and general renovation; excellent low‑price auction buy if you want a budget renovation project.
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€18,000 – €33,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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.
