At €79,000 for 75 sqm, the ask is about €1,053/sqm; with a light conversion/fit-out estimate of ~€150/sqm because it is currently registered as a shop, the effective cost is roughly €1,203/sqm. The baseline is very weak (Liguria palazzi median €137/sqm), so this cannot support a bargain claim; sea-front Sanremo helps, but the non-residential current cadastral status and zero photos make the listing riskier.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
The area around
Location score 55/100On the Ligurian Sea coast at the base of the Maritime Alps. The area includes the Riviera dei Fiori seafront and the built-up coastal strip around Sanremo, with small beaches, a marina, and steep hills rising immediately behind the town. The nearest larger centre is Sanremo itself, which has a port, a casino, a substantial old town, and year-round services. The cluster sits inside the built-up area of a city above 50,000 residents, so the lived setting is urban rather than rural. The area is known nationally for floriculture and for the Festival di Sanremo.
