What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€833/m²), the asking price looks competitive, but the apartment is explicitly described as needing renovation; estimated works bring the effective cost to about €1,533/m² versus roughly €893/m² for comparable local homes. The sea view, balcony, cellar and parking add appeal, but do not fully offset the renovation burden.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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 55/100The Ligurian Apennines rise immediately to the north and east of the city, forming steep hills that meet the urban fabric. The city fronts onto the Ligurian Sea; the harbour is one of Italy's largest commercial ports and includes passenger ferry terminals with services to Sardinia, Corsica and other Mediterranean destinations. The Bisagno and Polcevera rivers cross the city and reach the sea within the urban area. The Beigua Regional Natural Park lies to the west of Genoa; most of its higher mountain sectors are outside the immediate urban fringe. There are no significant ski lifts within 15 km; small Apennine skiing facilities are further inland. The city contains Cristoforo Colombo airport, main railway stations, university campuses, hospitals, museums and a dense medieval historic centre. The historic centre includes "Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli", a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Porto Antico and the port-industrial zone are major transport and economic features. The area is known for maritime trade, shipbuilding, the historic harbour and the steep terraced slopes above the waterfront.
