At €510/m², the €51,000 asking price becomes roughly €1,210/m² after estimated renovation, versus about €408/m² for comparable local stock. The central historic-square location and garages add potential, but every room is described as needing renovation and some ground-floor areas are non-residential categories.
More on the house and the area
The historic façade, decorative balconies and position on a characterful central piazza give this property genuine visual charm. However, the interiors are dark and substantially unfinished, with damp, exposed services and no usable kitchen or bathroom, so this is a renovation project rather than a move-in home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Major renovation required throughout, including unfinished bathroom and kitchen areas.
- Visible damp, peeling surfaces, exposed wiring and poor interior condition.
- Central urban setting with garages/workshop space; no private garden or terrace is shown.
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 51/100The cluster lies on the Plain of Catania, with broad low agricultural land around the town and the foothills rising inland toward the Iblei. The San Leonardo river runs near Lentini, and the Lentini plain has long been used for citrus cultivation. Lake Lentini is close to the town; it is one of the larger artificial lakes in Sicily and part of the immediate landscape. Catania is the nearest large city, with full city services, a major rail station and the airport. This area is known above all for oranges and other citrus from the plain.
