The €65,000 asking price is only €260/m², but renovating roughly 250 m² at an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €240,000, or €960/m²—far above the local comparison level of €231/m². The independent building and four-apartment layout offer potential, but the renovation burden is substantial.
More on the house and the area
A striking historic urban palazzo with grand stone detailing, arched windows and real character in Sassari’s old center. The interiors are furnished and partly usable, with kitchens and bathrooms, but widespread damp, damaged ceilings and dated systems mean this is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in 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€50,000 – €88,000
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 entire independent palazzo is advertised as needing renovation.
- Facade and interior walls show substantial damp, peeling plaster and deterioration.
- The property is divided into four apartments, so renovation, legal and systems checks may be complex.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Sassari, so the lived setting is an urban plateau of streets and services rather than open countryside. The Gulf of Asinara coast is the nearest sea, with Platamona and Porto Torres on the north side of the city. The nearest larger centre is Sassari itself, with full city services, a university, major retail and transport links. The area is known for Sassari’s role as one of the main cities of northern Sardinia.
