Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€1,062/m²), the property is in its original condition and likely needs about €45,500 of renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,762/m²—well above comparable Palermo stock. The 20 m² panoramic terrace and location about 3 km from the sea add value, but do not offset the renovation burden and energy class G.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable Palermo home with two bedrooms, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, a large panoramic terrace, and a warm old-fashioned feel from the wood ceilings and traditional furnishings. The urban surroundings are practical rather than dreamy, and the interior is dated, but at €69,000 it offers a solid, livable base with outdoor space rather than a renovation project.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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 apartment is in its original, dated condition and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The terrace and verandas overlook a dense urban area and a busy road rather than a scenic coastal setting.
- It is on the first floor without an elevator, and the property has energy class G.
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 55/100This is within the built-up area of Palermo, so the lived setting is urban streets and dense city fabric rather than open landscape. Monte Pellegrino rises immediately above the city to the north, and the Tyrrhenian coast is close by with the Gulf of Palermo and the beaches around Mondello inside the local area. Palermo is the nearest major city and has a large historic centre, major monuments, port, airport access and full city services. Palermo Arab-Norman monuments and the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with several of the listed buildings in the city and Monreale just outside it. The area is known for its historic urban fabric, markets and seafront setting.
