This is a judicial-auction property, so the advertised €16,920 price does not represent a normal direct purchase and carries auction-specific legal and procedural risks. The listing also says the images are only indicative and not the actual property photos.
More on the house and the area
The advertised 150 sqm apartment could be a practical home and includes a garage, but the gallery cannot establish its real beauty or condition. The generic urban imagery offers no proven Italian character, garden, or meaningful view, so the extremely low price is not enough to create a strong wow factor.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 images are indicative and not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase adds legal, timing, and access-to-information risks.
- Actual bathroom, kitchen, interior condition, and layout are not verified despite the 'habitable' label.
- The apartment's setting appears generic rather than distinctly scenic or historic.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Iblei uplands. Within about 15 km the landscape is a plateau of limestone hills, dry valleys and cultivated land, with long views across the Ragusa interior. Chiaramonte Gulfi is a hill town with a substantial historic centre and it is known locally for olive oil and traditional pork products. Ragusa, with full services and major shopping, schools and hospitals, is the nearest city of size. The wider area is part of the Hyblaean countryside of south-eastern Sicily rather than a single protected landmark landscape.
