See what needs doing and what each job costs
This Palermo apartment is explicitly being sold through a judicial auction, so it fails the catalog’s eligibility rules regardless of its €68,077 price (€524/m²). The listing describes it as habitable, but auction-related legal and purchase risks make it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, bright and clearly usable 130 sqm apartment with a polished modern kitchen, multiple skylights, finished bathrooms and generous living space. It lacks historic character, a notable view or private garden, but the apparent condition and very low price per square metre make it a compelling practical bargain rather than a dream-location home.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Auction purchase with the property held under a right of surface, requiring careful legal and title review.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs and future efficiency work.
- The building and surroundings look modern and generic rather than distinctly Sicilian; no meaningful view or private outdoor space is shown.
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.
