Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €88,000 (€440/m²), this large independent house is slightly above the local €408/m² benchmark; assuming it is broadly habitable, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €640/m². The listing does not state the condition or construction year, while the facts report no bathrooms despite the description claiming three, so verify the layout and actual state before buying.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, clearly usable two-level house with multiple bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, heating, and a large garage. Its best feature is the private internal garden filled with citrus and Mediterranean plants, though the home itself is fairly plain and dated rather than architecturally special.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from repainting, modernization, and thorough cleaning.
- The courtyard garden is attractive but currently overgrown and the concrete surfaces need attention.
- Energy class G and the condition of the heating, plumbing, and utilities should be verified.
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 72/100The area is on the south-west Sicilian coastal plain near the Mediterranean, with long sandy shores and the mouth of the Belice River within this stretch of coast. The Riserva Naturale Integrale Foce del Fiume Belice e dune limitrofe lies in the immediate area, protecting river mouth, dunes and coastal vegetation. Selinunte is the nearest major archaeological site, with the large Greek temple and acropolis area on the coast a few kilometres east. Mazara del Vallo is the nearest larger town, with a fishing port, services and a historic centre. This part of the Belice plain is known for vineyards, olive groves and early potatoes.
