At €156/m², the asking price is well below the local €393/m² benchmark, and the historic-center location near the sea is a plus. However, the listing does not state the building’s condition and its creative-renovation wording suggests substantial work; allowing about €700/m² brings the estimated effective cost to roughly €856/m².
More on the house and the area
A large three-level historic townhouse in Bagheria, with weathered Sicilian shutters, a balcony, and a charming palm-filled piazzetta nearby. The €32,000 price for roughly 205 m² is striking, but the neglected exterior and complete lack of interior photos suggest a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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€41,000 – €72,000
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 full interior condition is not shown, so major renovation needs are possible.
- The facade shows substantial weathering, damaged plaster, aged shutters, and visibly messy wiring.
- This is a dense town-center property with street parking and no private garden or proven view.
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 Bagheria on the Tyrrhenian side east of Palermo, so the lived setting is a dense coastal town rather than open countryside. The Tyrrhenian coast is a few kilometres away at the Bagheria-Aspra shoreline, with short stretches of rocky coast and small coves around Capo Zafferano. Monte Catalfano rises immediately above the coast and is protected as the Monte Catalfano nature reserve. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links and cultural sites.
