Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €234/m², the asking price is 57% below the local €542/m² reference, but the effective cost rises to about €934/m² after allowing €700/m² for substantial renovation. The listing is unusually vague for 229 m² and reports only one room with no bathrooms, so its actual layout, habitability, and condition need careful verification.
More on the house and the area
The property offers a large 229 m² footprint in central Nuoro, with bright rooms, a terrace, existing bathrooms, and a striking auction discount. However, the photos and description show commercial premises rather than a beautiful, ready-to-live-in Italian home, with no bedrooms or residential layout evident.
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€45,000 – €80,000
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.
- This is primarily a shop and office complex, not a ready residential home.
- Conversion to residential use may require planning approval and substantial adaptation.
- The building has no elevator and includes a low-ceiling attic level.
- Interiors are cluttered and functional rather than characterful or aspirational.
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 67/100Monte Ortobene rises immediately above Nuoro and is the defining relief of the area. The Supramonte massif lies nearby to the east, with limestone uplands, ravines and forest within the local hinterland. The Cedrino valley and the inland route toward the Gulf of Orosei shape the surrounding landscape. Nuoro is the main town and has the full range of services, along with museums and institutions tied to Sardinian culture. The area is known for Barbagia, pastoral inland Sardinia and the traditions associated with it.
