See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which makes it a trap under the catalog rules. The advertised €806/m² is already 66% above the Palermo comparison level, while the 115 m² size is only estimated, the photos are not of the actual property, and the listing does not state its real condition or usable measurements.
More on the house and the area
The illustrated interior is bright, modern, and clearly arranged as a comfortable, usable apartment, with an attractive open living-kitchen area and excellent bathroom finishes. However, the photos are not of the actual property, while the real apartment is described only as habitable in a conventional Palermo apartment block, so the visual appeal and livability cannot be confidently verified.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- The listing explicitly says the photos are indicative and not the actual property photos.
- This is a court-auction purchase, with possible legal, occupancy, and handover complications.
- The building exterior is ordinary and urban, with no notable view or private outdoor space.
- The listed 115 sqm is an estimate and may not match the official measurement.
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 Palermo on the Tyrrhenian coast, with Monte Pellegrino immediately above the city and the Conca d’Oro plain around it. The sea is part of the setting, with the Gulf of Palermo and the urban beaches at Mondello and Addaura within the city. Palermo is the nearest large centre and has the region’s main concentration of historic fabric, services, transport and monuments, including the Arab-Norman UNESCO sites. Monreale, just above the city on the inland side, is also part of the same urban landscape and UNESCO listing. The area is known for its coastal city setting between mountain slopes and sea.
