Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €120/m², the asking price is exceptionally low, but the condition is unstated; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation puts the total near €82,000, or €820/m², above the local €405/m² benchmark. The historic-center location and 18 photos help, but the missing condition details make this a cautious fair deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished two-level house with a usable kitchen, two bathrooms, bedrooms, balconies, and substantial living space rather than an empty shell. Its strongest appeal is the exceptionally low €12,000 price, while the dated decor, worn exterior, and lack of standout views or outdoor space keep it from feeling like a dream Italian home.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and furnishings; likely needs cosmetic modernization.
- Exterior plaster and balconies show weathering and possible damp/maintenance issues.
- No information is provided about utilities, heating, roof condition, or legal status.
- The listing does not show a notable view, garden, or surrounding countryside.
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 49/100The area is inland central Sicily, with cultivated hills and badland-like clay slopes in parts of the Caltanissetta countryside. Caltanissetta is the nearest town of size, with the province’s main services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. This part of the interior is known for grain farming and for the former sulphur-mining landscape of central Sicily.
