See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale RGE) so purchase terms and risks are atypical. At €61,906 for 131 m² plus estimated €200/m² work (≈€26,200) the effective price is ≈€88,100 (≈€673/m²), above the regional median €525/m²; the house is reachable only on foot and has landscape constraints.
More on the house and the area
The interiors look bright and well finished (wood floors, fireplace, modern bathroom and kitchen), and the size/price make this a strong bargain for someone wanting a ready-to-live-in town home. However there’s no authentic exterior or view shown and the listing warns images are indicative, so confirm the real unit condition and access before proceeding.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Listing states the supplied images are indicative, not photos of the actual unit — verify real photos and planimetry.
- Property is reachable only on foot (pedestrian access only).
- Landscape protection constraints (vincoli paesaggistici) are reported and may limit changes.
- Check bathrooms/utilities — public facts list 0 baths which conflicts with photos.
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 sits inside the built-up area of the city of Genova. The city lies on the Ligurian Sea and has an active commercial port and passenger ferry terminal around the Porto Antico. The hinterland rises steeply into the Ligurian Apennines; local summits within a few kilometres include Monte Fasce and Monte Gazzo. Two principal torrent valleys cross the city: the Polcevera to the west and the Bisagno to the east. Public parks and seaside promenades are present in parts of the city, notably the Parchi di Nervi east of the historic centre. Genoa Cristoforo Colombo airport is within the metropolitan area a few kilometres from the centre. The historic centre contains the Rolli palaces and the Strade Nuove, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Porto Antico area includes the Acquario di Genova and ferry connections to Sardinia, Corsica and other Mediterranean destinations. The urban area has major railway stations (Genova Piazza Principe, Genova Brignole) and motorway links (A7/A12). The city and province are known for Genoese food specialities such as pesto alla genovese, focaccia and farinata and for a long maritime and mercantile history.
