See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€1,100/m²), this 50 m² apartment needs renovation estimated at about €35,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,800/m² versus a local reference of €900/m². The balcony, elevator, quiet exposure and location about 3 km from the sea add appeal, but the renovation burden makes it ordinary value rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, compact Genoa apartment with a usable balcony, good-sized rooms, existing floors, bathroom, and central heating. However, the real interiors are dated and need renovation, while the building and surroundings are ordinary rather than dream-home material.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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 listing states that renovation work is needed; the kitchen and bathroom are visibly dated.
- Several attractive interior images are AI-generated renders, not the current condition.
- No notable view, garden, historic character, or distinctive setting is shown.
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 cluster is inside the built-up area of Genoa, a regional capital and large port on the Ligurian Sea. The historic centre contains medieval lanes (the 'caruggi') and the Palazzi dei Rolli, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site ('Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli'). The old harbour (Porto Antico) has been redeveloped and houses the Acquario di Genova. The Bisagno and the Polcevera rivers cross the urban area. The Ligurian Apennines rise steeply immediately inland; wooded hills and terraced slopes are within a 15 km radius. Genova Cristoforo Colombo airport lies to the west of the city, within the metropolitan area. The city is a major transport hub with main railway stations (Genova Piazza Principe and Genova Brignole) and ferry connections from the port. The area is known for maritime trade and shipbuilding and for Genoese cuisine (pesto alla genovese, focaccia, farinata). There are promenades and public parks along the coast, including the Nervi waterfront.
