See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€337/m²), the asking price is slightly below comparable Sardinian homes, but the property is explicitly to be renovated. Allowing about €1,100/m² raises the effective cost to roughly €1,437/m², making this a weak deal despite its central historic-center location and generous 178 m².
More on the house and the area
A generous 178 sqm historic-center house with bright rooms, traditional arches, woodwork, tiled floors, and a genuine fireplace gives it more character than a typical cheap property. It is a solid, roofed home rather than a ruin, but the dated interiors and incomplete service areas mean substantial renovation is needed before comfortable full-time living.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €104,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation; the kitchen appears absent or unfinished and the bathroom needs work.
- Energy class G and the condition of roof, terrace, utilities, and systems should be verified.
- Town-center setting means limited outdoor space and likely street/parking constraints.
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 68/100The area lies in the Sulcis-Iglesiente interior, with low hills and cultivated valleys rather than high mountains. The Cixerri river basin is part of the local landscape. Monte Arcosu, one of the largest WWF reserves in Italy, lies nearby and is known for Mediterranean woodland and Sardinian deer. Siliqua is known for the hilltop castle of Acquafredda, which stands above the settlement. Iglesias and Carbonia are the nearest larger towns in the wider area, providing shops, services and rail links.
