What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 100sqm apartment at 820 EUR/m2 vs town median 650 EUR/m2, so ~26% above baseline (n=5218 is robust). Priced at premium but move-in ready with garage, cellar, double balconies, terrace, autonomous heating. Energy class F and 1970 build suggest some efficiency/modernization spend (~150 EUR/m2 for cosmetic/efficiency upgrades). Fresh listing (1 day). Solid but not a bargain given the above-median price for a habitable, not renovated, unit.
More on the house and the area
Standard dated 1970s apartment in Acqui Terme with worn, cluttered interiors and mixed decor. Ordinary layout, no standout view (courtyard/facade only), tired bathroom and kitchen. Habitable but unremarkable. Priced modestly at 820/m2 but not a striking bargain. No scroll-stopping features.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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 – €8,000
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.
