What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€872/m²), the apartment still needs renovation and modernization, bringing the estimated effective cost to about €1,572/m². That is far above the local €538/m² reference, although legal residential status, a large terrace, garage, and full compliance are positives.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, usable top-floor apartment with a large private 20 sqm terrace, bright rooms, two bathrooms, and attractive open views over greenery toward the distant horizon. It is not a polished dream home: the interiors are dated, largely unfurnished, and show visible wear and possible moisture marks, but the tiled floors, kitchen, bathrooms, windows, and roof appear broadly intact rather than ruinous.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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 apartment is explicitly in original condition and needs renovation and modernization of systems and finishes.
- Visible ceiling discoloration and wall wear should be investigated for damp or water ingress.
- The kitchen and bathrooms are functional-looking but dated, and the terrace/roof areas may need maintenance.
- No energy rating or building year is provided.
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 48/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Sassari, so the resident landscape is an urban setting on the low limestone and volcanic uplands of north-west Sardinia. The Gulf of Asinara coast is about 8 km away, with the nearest shore around Platamona and Porto Torres on the Gulf. The nearest town of size is Sassari itself, a provincial capital with a university, major services, and a substantial historic centre. Porto Torres, within the same short radius, has the Roman site of Turris Libisonis and the ferry port for connections to the mainland. This part of north-west Sardinia is known for olive groves, mixed cereal farmland, and nuraghi in the surrounding countryside.
