What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Priced at 367 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 387, only ~5% below, so no strong discount. Needs renovation (est. ~500 EUR/m2). Missing baths (0), building year, and energy class. Fresh listing (1 day). Private garden and portico are pluses, but small photo count and thin data limit confidence. Modest bargain at best.
More on the house and the area
Weathered stone townhouse on a Paternò street with adjacent apartment blocks. Aged facade with a small balcony and arched doors, but overall ordinary urban frontage in need of renovation. No interior, view, or nature appeal shown. Low price/m² (€367) reflects condition rather than exceptional value. No standout wow features.
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, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.

The area around
Location score 55/100Mount Etna rises immediately to the east and north-east, and Paternò sits on the lower inland side of the volcano in the Simeto valley. The Simeto river runs through this area. The Parco dell'Etna begins on the higher slopes above the settled belt. The nearest large city is Catania, with the full range of urban services, port and airport. Paternò is known for its Norman castle on a hill above the town and for citrus and agricultural land on the volcanic plain.
