Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€1,328/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €1,578/m² after a modest €250/m² restyling allowance, far above the €500/m² level for comparable sub-€100k homes. The sea-access location, private courtyard, terrace and parking add appeal, but not enough to offset the substantial price premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable Ligurian townhouse with a strong panoramic outlook over La Spezia, plus a private terrace/courtyard and attractive old-fashioned shutters and ironwork. The kitchen, bathroom, heating, furnishings, roof and floors appear functional, though the interiors are plain and the exterior needs refreshing. At €85,000, the view and outdoor space give it real dream-home appeal despite the dated condition.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€5,000 – €9,000
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 home is livable but visibly dated, with cracked/worn finishes and likely needing cosmetic renovation.
- Internal stairs are steep and the property is spread over multiple levels; the pedestrian access from parking may be inconvenient.
- Energy class G and only one small bathroom reduce everyday comfort.
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 55/100This cluster is inside the built-up area of La Spezia, on the Gulf of La Spezia between steep coastal hills and a working port. The Ligurian Apennine relief rises immediately behind the city, and the Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park begins on the east side of the gulf around Lerici and the lower Magra. The nearest coast is the urban waterfront and port; the more distinctive rocky coast of the Cinque Terre lies west of the city but outside the 15 km landscape. La Spezia is the main town of the area and has a full range of services, a railway junction, a naval base and port facilities, and ferries in season. The area is known for the naval arsenal and as the gateway to the eastern Ligurian coast and Cinque Terre.
