Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing describes a habitable 52 m² apartment 1 km from the sea at €1,827/m²; allowing €200/m² for upkeep gives an effective €2,027/m², far above the local €734/m² benchmark. Sea proximity, low condominium fees and the renovated façade help, but they do not justify this premium; the listing does not say enough about energy performance or the building’s broader condition.
More on the house and the area
A solid, characterful apartment in a photogenic historic Livorno street, with traditional shutters, cornices, a balcony, and a central urban setting near the sea. The description presents it as move-in ready with a fitted kitchen, functioning bathroom, very low condominium fees, and practical storage, though the small size and lack of interior photos limit the wow factor.
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€3,000 – €6,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the advertised condition and finish are difficult to verify.
- Third-floor apartment with no lift mentioned; access and carrying groceries may be inconvenient.
- Compact 52 sqm layout, despite the useful balcony/outdoor laundry-storage area.
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 55/100On the Tyrrhenian coast, the cluster sits in the built-up area of Livorno, a port city with canals in the Venezia Nuova quarter, the Terrazza Mascagni seafront, the Medici fortifications and the port. The coast here is urban shoreline and harbour rather than a protected scenic stretch. To the south, within about 15 km, the Costa degli Etruschi begins around Quercianella with rocky coves on the Mar Ligure/Tyrrhenian. The nearest larger centre is Pisa, with the airport and the Piazza dei Miracoli, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape and does not affect the rating. Livorno is known for its port, seafood cuisine and the Accademia Navale.
