Although the €18,779 asking price for 98 m² near the sea is far below the local comparison level, this is a judicial auction rather than a normal sale. The listing says the images are only indicative and that the published size may not correspond to the actual unit, creating material uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show a polished, modern apartment, but they are explicitly not photographs of the real property, so the apparent interior quality cannot be credited. The actual listing offers no proven view, historic character, garden, or distinctive setting; it is a potentially habitable 98 sqm apartment whose real condition remains uncertain.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 do not show the actual property.
- This is a court auction, with possible legal, occupancy, and purchase-process risks.
- The property is near the sea but no sea view or outdoor space is demonstrated.
- Bathrooms and the exact layout are not clearly confirmed in the facts.
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 78/100The cluster is on the Strait of Sicily coast. The mouth of the Platani river and the Torre Salsa oriented reserve are farther west and do not fall inside the immediate 15 km setting, but within this radius the main named feature is the coast itself and the low marl headland of Scala dei Turchi at Realmonte. Agrigento lies immediately inland and has the services of a provincial capital. The Valley of the Temples archaeological park is within this same local area around Agrigento. Porto Empedocle is known as the port serving Agrigento and for its association with Andrea Camilleri.
