Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 plus an estimated €200/m² for updating, the effective cost is about €957/m²—well above the €393/m² local stock median. The house is independent, central in Altofonte, and described as being in good condition, but the renovation is around 15 years old and energy class G limits the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable two-level home with two bathrooms, tiled floors, good windows, attractive exposed-beam ceilings, and a small panoramic balcony. The dramatic mountain-and-valley view is the standout feature, especially at €59,000, although the interiors are practical rather than luxurious and the setting is densely built-up.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 home is in a dense village setting with narrow streets and neighboring rooftops, not a private rural retreat.
- Interiors are clean and usable but fairly basic, with dated finishes and limited visible kitchen presentation.
- Energy class G and a renovation reportedly dating from about 15 years ago may mean future updating costs.
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 58/100Monte Caputo rises immediately above the area, on the slopes that lead into the mountains west of Palermo. The Belice-Carboj and western Sicani reliefs are farther away and do not define the immediate 15 km setting. Palermo is the nearest city of size and has the full range of services, a major historic centre, port, rail connections and airport access. Monreale is nearby and its cathedral and Arab-Norman ensemble are UNESCO listed. The area is known for its position on the inland edge of the Conca d’Oro behind Palermo rather than for a distinct rural landscape of its own.
