The €29,000 asking price is only €227/m², but the apartment is in a raw unfinished state and likely needs about €1,100/m² to complete. That puts the effective cost near €1,327/m², far above the typical €485/m² for comparable Sicilian apartments; the central position and views do not offset the heavy finishing budget.
More on the house and the area
The apartment has a central location, two balconies, good light and open urban/panoramic views, with recently renovated building façades. However, the real property is currently a raw unfinished shell; the polished interiors are only proposed renders, so this is a renovation project rather than a usable home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €75,000
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 actual apartment is an unfinished shell with exposed brick, concrete ceilings and no finished kitchen or bathrooms.
- Substantial finishing work, including flooring, plastering, fixtures and possibly utilities, is required before it can be occupied.
- Second-floor apartment has no elevator.
- The attractive interiors shown are renders, not the current condition.
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.
