Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,000 (€451/m²), the price is only slightly above the local €408/m² benchmark before allowing for the ground-floor garage’s conversion and other works. The central location, independent layout and sea proximity are positives, but the listing does not state the overall condition, and the effective cost is likely around €902/m² after estimated renovation.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€7,000 – €12,000
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Bagheria on the Tyrrhenian side east of Palermo, so the lived setting is a dense coastal town rather than open countryside. The Tyrrhenian coast is a few kilometres away at the Bagheria-Aspra shoreline, with short stretches of rocky coast and small coves around Capo Zafferano. Monte Catalfano rises immediately above the coast and is protected as the Monte Catalfano nature reserve. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links and cultural sites.
