What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The property is sold at judicial auction (legal risks), so score is low. Price €49,000 + estimated renovation €26,200 (200 €/m²) = €75,200 → about €574/m² (regional baseline €306/m²); listing has only 1 photo and omits bathroom/building-year data.
More on the house and the area
A traditional, characterful village villa with a wrought-iron balcony and arched entrance that reads as a real home rather than a ruin. Listed as habitable, it looks liveable but the visible wear and lack of interior photos mean you'll likely need at least cosmetic work and should factor auction/legal costs into the purchase.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Property is auction-listed — buying at auction carries legal/fees/possession risks and extra costs.
- Only an exterior photo is provided; interior condition and fittings are not shown.
- Facade shows peeling plaster and wear, so expect cosmetic to medium repairs.
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 56/100The area sits in the lower Piedmont hills between the Orba and Lemme valleys, with mixed farmland, woods and low ridgelines rather than high mountains. The Orba river is nearby, and the landscape is shaped by its plain and the first rises of the Apennine foothills. The nearest larger town is Novi Ligure, which has the main services, rail connections and a substantial built-up area. Gavi is nearby and the area is known for Gavi wine from the hills around the fortress town.
