The €45,000 asking price is attractive at €225/m², and the historic-center location near the sea adds value. However, the entire five-storey building is described as needing restoration; estimated total costs of about €265,000 (€1,325/m² effective) substantially exceed the local benchmark of €485/m².
More on the house and the area
The property has genuine Sicilian character, an old stone frontage, traditional floors and a surprisingly attractive rooftop view toward the sea and mountain. However, the interiors are heavily deteriorated, damp and largely project-grade rather than livable, so this is an investment redevelopment opportunity—not a beautiful cheap home ready to inhabit.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Entire five-level building requires major restoration and is not currently move-in ready.
- Visible damp, peeling plaster, debris, deteriorated bathrooms and unfinished interiors suggest substantial renovation costs.
- Access is via narrow internal staircases; verify structure, utilities, permits and feasibility of creating multiple apartments.
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 50/100Monte Pecoraro and the low mountains west of Palermo rise inland from Carini. The Tyrrhenian coast is close, with the Gulf of Carini and the long beach stretch around Carini and Villagrazia di Carini. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links, port and airport area nearby. Carini is known for its Norman castle on the hill above the modern spread. This part of the coast is a built-up belt between Palermo and the airport, with housing, main roads and commercial strips mixed with the older town.
