See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €59,000 asking price is €347/m², close to comparable local levels, but assuming a habitable condition adds roughly €34,000 in works, bringing the effective cost to about €547/m². The historic-center location, terrace and generous layout add appeal, while the listing does not state the actual condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely livable three-level town house with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, a large attic room and a generous terrace. Its vintage patterned floors, wood paneling, arched openings and wrought-iron staircase provide character, but the house is more practical than beautiful and needs cosmetic modernization.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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 are fully usable but heavily dated, especially the patterned tile floors and extensive wood paneling.
- Exterior terrace/courtyard walls show peeling, weathered finishes and would benefit from repair and repainting.
- No compelling landscape or sea view is shown, despite the Sardinian location.
- Heating system and current utility condition are not evident from the photos.
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 82/100The area sits in the Iglesiente hills, with low mountains and mining landscapes around Monte San Giovanni and the Marganai massif. The Mediterranean is close on the southwest Sardinian coast, with the shoreline around Fontanamare, Nebida and Masua within about 15 km, where cliffs and sea stacks including Pan di Zucchero define the coast. Much of the inland side falls in the Parco Geominerario Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna, linked to the historic mining district around Iglesias and Monteponi. Iglesias is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, medieval walls and churches, and services for daily life. The area is known for former lead and zinc mining, karst caves, and the mining coast landscapes of the Sulcis-Iglesiente.
