In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000, the home costs €409/m², but allowing roughly €22,000 for habitable-condition updates brings the effective cost to about €609/m² versus a local benchmark near €416/m². Its garage, heating, terrace and three bathrooms add usability, but the inland location offers limited extra value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious habitable townhouse with a working kitchen, multiple bathrooms, balconies, garage, and a glimpse toward the surrounding Sicilian hills. It is practical rather than spectacular, with dated finishes and visible maintenance issues, but €45,000 for 110 m² gives it real bargain appeal.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Clearly usable and furnished, but interiors are dated and show peeling paint/plaster damage.
- Exterior facade appears weathered and may need maintenance; inspect cracks, roof, and balconies.
- No energy rating or detailed renovation history is provided.
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.
