See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 (€655/m²), the apartment is below the local €890/m² benchmark, but its stated renovation needs add an estimated €83,300, bringing the effective cost to about €1,355/m². Two gardens, independent access and a sea-side Genova location add appeal, but the renovation burden outweighs the headline discount.
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€23,000 – €42,000
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.
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 84/100The cluster is on the Ligurian Sea coast at the western end of the Gulf of Genoa, with the Ligurian Apennines rising immediately inland. The Beigua Regional Nature Park begins above the coast, and the Beigua UNESCO Global Geopark covers the mountain block behind Arenzano. The nearest ski lifts are on the Santo Stefano d'Aveto side of the Ligurian Apennines, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. Genoa is the nearest large city, with a major port, rail links, airport and full city services. Arenzano is known for its seafront and as one of the access points to the Beigua uplands.
