At €87,000 (€1,024/m²), this central, already habitable apartment is priced above the local €900/m² benchmark once modest move-in work is allowed for. Its location 1 km from the sea, lift, autonomous heating and low fees add value, but the discount is not strong enough to make it an exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A solid, clearly livable Genoese apartment with beautiful original terrazzo floors, a spacious traditional layout, and an especially handsome historic building facade. It is more characterful than luxurious, with dated furnishings and finishes but no obvious major renovation needed.
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€6,000 – €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.
- Urban apartment with no visible private outdoor space or significant view.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated in decor and kitchen/bath finishes.
- Only one bathroom for a three-bedroom layout.
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.
