See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€437/m²), the asking price is already above comparable local stock at €378/m²; allowing about €700/m² for personalization, the effective cost rises to roughly €1,137/m². The independent three-level layout and location 1 km from the sea are positives, but the missing boiler, limited photographic evidence, and inconsistent room data weaken the proposition.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial independent three-level house near services and about 1 km from the sea, with a garage, kitchen area, bedroom, and bathrooms. However, no visual beauty or historic character can be confirmed, and the missing boiler plus need for personalization make it a practical project rather than an immediately compelling dream 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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Only a placeholder image is available, so exterior, interior character, views, and actual condition cannot be verified.
- The autonomous heating system is currently missing its boiler.
- The property is spread across three levels and is described as needing personalization.
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 62/100The cluster is on the south coast of Sicily by the Mediterranean and at the mouth of the Salso river. The shoreline around Licata mixes beaches with low rocky stretches and the port area. Inland within this radius the land is mostly low rolling countryside with farmed fields and scattered olive groves. Licata is the nearest town of size, with a working harbour, services and a historic centre with Liberty-era buildings and hilltop Sant'Angelo overlooking the town. The area is known for fishing and agriculture.
