Priced at €361/m² vs baseline median €387/m², a slight ~7% discount — decent but not exceptional. Effective living space is smaller than 180m²: 45m² is garage and 45m² is terrace (partly enclosed with a 'precarious structure'), leaving ~90m² of actual habitable rooms, which inflates the apparent €/m² value. 'Needs renovation' with a precarious rooftop structure suggests meaningful work at ~€400/m². Missing building year, energy class, and sea distance. Fresh listing (1 day). Reasonable fair deal but the usable-area breakdown weakens the headline price advantage.
More on the house and the area
Narrow multi-story townhouse on an ordinary urban street in Paternò, presented as a detached 180sqm home across four levels. Interiors are dated with old furniture, worn plaster, terrazzo/marble floors and basic bathrooms; several spaces are cluttered storage areas needing renovation. The exterior is a weathered yellow facade among typical neighbors. No standout view, historic charm, or natural setting. Low price-per-sqm is decent but not a dramatic bargain given the renovation required. No genuine wow elements.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
