Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 (€829/m²), this small independent house is priced well above the local €416/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €14,000 for unspecified works raises the effective cost further. Its location 1 km from the sea and private outdoor space add appeal, but the listing does not state the condition, and it is not mortgageable.
More on the house and the area
A practical, independent one-level home with a genuinely pleasant tiled outdoor terrace and mature planted garden. The interior is fully usable, including a kitchen and bathroom, but it is dated and visually ordinary rather than a dream Italian character home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Interiors and bathroom are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The property appears compact, with limited natural light in some rooms.
- It is listed as non-mortgageable, which may complicate financing.
- No sea view or distinctive historic character is shown.
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 50/100Monte Pecoraro and the low mountains west of Palermo rise inland from Carini. The Tyrrhenian coast is close, with the Gulf of Carini and the long beach stretch around Carini and Villagrazia di Carini. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links, port and airport area nearby. Carini is known for its Norman castle on the hill above the modern spread. This part of the coast is a built-up belt between Palermo and the airport, with housing, main roads and commercial strips mixed with the older town.
