What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,000 asking price is attractive at €233/m², but a substantial renovation estimate of about €105,000 brings the effective cost to roughly €933/m²—well above the €400/m² local comparison level. The 150 m² layout, terraces and cellar add value, but the inland location 31 km from the sea limits the upside.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.

The area around
Location score 61/100The area sits in the Logudoro uplands, with low volcanic hills and cultivated open countryside rather than a continuous mountain landscape. The Rio Mannu di Porto Torres valley lies nearby and the surrounding land is used for grain, pasture and olive growing. Within the local area the nearest larger town is Sassari, which provides the main services, shops, hospital and rail connections. Torralba and the Valley of the Nuraghi are nearby, and the area is known for a high concentration of Nuragic archaeological sites, including Nuraghe Santu Antine within the local radius.
