The asking price is very low at €225/m² versus a local benchmark of €542/m², but the listing provides almost no information beyond autonomous heating and does not mention bathrooms or overall condition. Assuming substantial renovation at about €700/m², the effective cost rises to roughly €925/m², making this a weak prospect without further checks.
More on the house and the area
The apartment appears clean and usable, with modern flooring, a fitted kitchen, and recently finished bathrooms. However, it is a generic apartment in an unattractive residential block, with no historic character, garden, terrace, or compelling view; its main appeal is the exceptionally low €18,000 price.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 exterior is a plain, weathered apartment-block setting with no visible Italian character or notable view.
- The photos show renovated-looking rooms, but the main living space is empty and furnishings are not evident.
- The facts list zero bathrooms despite the bathroom photos; verify the actual layout, condition, and whether the images represent this exact unit.
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 68/100The area sits in inland Gallura, among granite hills and cork-oak woodland. Monte Limbara rises just south of Calangianus, with the Limbara massif and forest roads/trails within the local radius. Tempio Pausania is the nearest larger town, with services and a granite-built historic centre. This part of Gallura is known for cork production and for scattered rural stazzi in a landscape of rock outcrops, woods and small plateaus.
