Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €88,000 (€765/m²), the house is already priced well above the local €408/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €250/m² for the unfinished attic and garage brings the effective cost to about €1,000/m². The sea view, 1 km location, large 4,700 m² plot and garage add value, but energy class G and the substantial unfinished areas limit the deal quality.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€10,000 – €16,000
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 56/100The cluster is on the south coast of Sicily on low Mediterranean coastal ground facing the Strait of Sicily. The Gela plain extends nearby, with broad agricultural land and low rolling inland terrain rather than a marked mountain setting. The nearest town of size is Gela, which has full daily services, a port and a long urban seafront. This stretch of coast is known for beaches, greenhouse and field agriculture, and the archaeological presence of the Greek colony of Gela in the wider area.
