What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€575/m²), allowing roughly €24,000 for light updating gives an effective cost near €775/m² versus €900 for comparable homes. The central location, elevator, two balconies, newer double-glazed windows and 22 m² garage make this a strong value, although the listing does not state the formal condition or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, bright and genuinely usable apartment with a long balcony, mountain glimpses, attractive parquet flooring and well-preserved traditional graniglia floors. It is not a polished dream interior—the kitchen is old-fashioned and the rooms need cosmetic updating—but it appears solid, move-in capable and unusually good value at €69,000 with a large garage.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- The kitchen and bathroom are dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a four-bedroom apartment.
- The mountain outlook is attractive but partly framed by neighboring buildings and urban surroundings.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Scrivia valley in the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and passes around the valley floor. The Scrivia river runs through the area. The Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Antola lies nearby in the upper valleys to the east, centred on Monte Antola. The nearest larger town is Genova, which provides the full range of city services and rail connections. This part of inland Genoa is known for Apennine valley settlements and road and rail routes crossing between Liguria and the Po plain.
