Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €337/m², the €35,000 asking price is about 14% below the local benchmark, and the 70 m² garage adds useful value. However, the listing does not state the condition, construction year, or energy performance; the unfinished terrace and need to personalize the interiors justify an estimated €300/m² in works, bringing the effective cost above the benchmark.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished three-level home with a usable kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, decorative entrance door, and a potentially appealing terrace. It is practical rather than beautiful, with modest interiors and a visibly weathered urban facade, but €35,000 plus a large garage gives it strong value appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Urban setting with a worn, unfinished exterior and no scenic view shown.
- The top-floor terrace still needs finishing.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a three-level home.
- The 70 sqm garage is accessed from a different street.
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

The river landscape nearest at hand is the Caltagirone plain and the upper valleys that cut through this part of the province. Caltagirone is the nearest substantial town and has a large historic centre, services, and its well-known ceramic tradition. This part of inland eastern Sicily is known for grain fields, olive groves and ceramics.
