At €85,000 (€702/m²), the apartment needs modernization and has no heating, implying roughly €700/m² in renovation and an effective cost near €1,402/m²—about 2.5 times the local €554/m² benchmark. Energy class G and the third-floor walk-up further weaken the value despite the generous size, terrace, cellar and low shared costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious, functioning family apartment with good natural light, balconies, a cellar, and a practical residential setting. However, the exterior is a standard urban apartment block and the interiors are dated rather than characterful, with no standout view or historic features; it is usable but not especially dream-inspiring.
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€24,000 – €43,000
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.
- Dated interiors and furnishings; the apartment needs modernization.
- Third-floor unit in a building without an elevator.
- No built-in heating, with hot water from an electric boiler and cooking via gas cylinder.
- Only one bathroom is currently present, though a second is potentially recoverable.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Sassari, so the lived setting is an urban plateau of streets and services rather than open countryside. The Gulf of Asinara coast is the nearest sea, with Platamona and Porto Torres on the north side of the city. The nearest larger centre is Sassari itself, with full city services, a university, major retail and transport links. The area is known for Sassari’s role as one of the main cities of northern Sardinia.
