See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the 237 m² property is habitable at €46,500 (€196/m²), the listing explicitly states that it is being sold through a judicial auction. Auction purchases carry substantial legal, procedural, and occupancy risks, so this is not a standard low-cost home deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old-town palazzo with weathered masonry, a narrow historic setting, and a small glimpse of a cared-for entrance hall. The listed layout is genuinely home-sized and reportedly habitable, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a terrace, but the lack of interior photos makes livability and renovation needs difficult to verify.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Judicial-auction purchase adds legal and procedural complexity.
- The gallery provides almost no view of the actual living spaces, despite the listing describing it as habitable.
- Exterior masonry, exposed wiring, and finishes appear dated; roof and terrace condition are not shown.
- The aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate surroundings.
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 81/100The Supramonte range rises immediately around Oliena, with limestone ridges, gorges and karst plateaus above the settled valley. The Cedrino river valley lies nearby, and the springs of Su Gologone are just outside the town. Much of the surrounding mountain area falls within the Parco Regionale del Gennargentu framework and the Supramonte landscape that is known across Sardinia for caves, ravines and trekking terrain. The nearest ski lifts are on Bruncu Spina in the Gennargentu massif, roughly an hour to an hour and a half by road depending on conditions. Nuoro is the nearest town of size, with hospitals, secondary schools, museums and full services. The area is known for olive oil, Cannonau wine, traditional bread and costume, and for access into the Supramonte of Oliena and Orgosolo.
