What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €154,000 with estimated renovation €18,000 (€200/m2) yields an effective €172,000 — ≈€1,911/m2 versus the regional baseline €544/m2 (about 3.5× higher). Very close to the sea (1 km) and partly renovated with many photos, but the listing omits a formal condition field and the price is far above typical local stock.
More on the house and the area
The apartment shows high-impact, recently renovated interiors (striking marble-style floors and a fully refurbished bathroom) and bright, immediately habitable living and sleeping spaces. It also includes a long terraced garden/pergola with vines and attractive hillside/town views, but two rooms require renovation and access is via outdoor steps.
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 – €10,000
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.
- Several rooms are only partially renovated and will need finishing work.
- Primary access involves exterior stepped paths — not ideal for limited mobility.
- Kitchen fit-out appears incomplete in photos; check utilities and systems before purchase.
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 in the built-up area of Sanremo, so the resident setting is urban fabric on the Ligurian coast. The Ligurian Sea is at the town. The Maritime Alps rise inland behind the coast. The nearest larger centre is Imperia, and Ventimiglia is the other main town to the west; Sanremo itself has the old town of La Pigna, a marina, beaches, and the services of a city of this size. Sanremo is known nationally for the Sanremo Music Festival and for floriculture.
