The €24,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €261/m², but the estimated renovation budget brings the effective cost to about €711/m² versus a local reference of €485/m². The historic-center location and 18–19 m² panoramic terrace add value, while one level still needs windows, a bathroom and cosmetic work.
More on the house and the area
The 18–19 sqm panoramic terrace is the standout feature, with sweeping views over Caltagirone’s tiled rooftops, rolling countryside, and distant hills. This is a real, usable home rather than a shell: the upper level is described as renovated and habitable, while the lower level needs straightforward but meaningful renovation. At €24,000 for 92 sqm with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it has strong dream-home potential for a buyer comfortable with the work.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- One level requires renovation, including wall refreshes, window replacement, and a bathroom installation.
- The interiors are dated and show peeling paint and general wear.
- The home is spread over upper floors in a steep historic-center setting, with extensive stairs and no lift visible.
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.
