Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €406/m², the asking price is already above comparable local homes at about €372/m²; with an estimated €200/m² for unspecified condition, the effective cost becomes roughly €606/m². The 800 m sea proximity, heating and fireplace add value, but the listing does not say the condition or provide bathroom details.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 119 m² independent ground-floor home with a private garden, fireplace, kitchen, heating, and a coastal location about 800 m from the sea. The €48k starting price is attractive, but the lack of real property photos and confirmed bathroom details makes its beauty and immediate livability 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€8,000 – €13,000
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 gallery shows presentation slides and maps rather than actual interior or exterior photographs, so condition and visual appeal are unverified.
- Auction property; legal status, occupancy, utilities, and any renovation needs should be checked in the appraisal.
- Bathrooms are not clearly confirmed in the supplied facts despite the listing describing a five-room home.
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 84/100The cluster is on the south-eastern Sicilian coast, with the Mediterranean at the door and long sandy beaches in the Scicli and Donnalucata area. The countryside just inland is the Hyblaean plateau edge, with limestone valleys and dry-stone field patterns typical of this part of Ragusa province. The town of Scicli has a large Baroque historic centre and is part of the UNESCO Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto. Modica is the nearest larger town of note, with extensive historic fabric in a steep valley. This area is known for Sicilian Baroque towns, stone-built rural landscapes and greenhouse and horticultural farming along the coastal strip.
