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
At €70,000 for 140 sqm, the ask is €500/sqm, but the description says the house is completely to be renovated, so the effective cost is about €1,600/sqm including ~€1,100/sqm works. That is far above the low-stock baseline of €418/sqm for Sardegna townhouses, despite good extras like 130 sqm outdoor space, garage/parking and a serviced residential area near Sassari.
More on the house and the area
This has some modest old-house character in the weathered facade, original door and simple rural outbuildings, plus a useful private yard and garden. But it is clearly a full renovation project rather than an easy live-in home, with visible moisture damage, tired finishes and neglected exterior spaces. At €70k for 140 sqm it has value, yet the wow is more potential than present-day dream-home appeal.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.

- Completely needs renovation; visible damp, peeling plaster and cracking inside and out.
- No proven view or standout setting from the photos; location feels practical rather than scenic.
- Outbuildings/garden area look neglected and may need substantial cleanup and repair.
- Water is from a shared well and sewer is via septic system, which may need checks/upgrades.
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 Sassari, so the lived setting is an urban fabric on a low limestone plateau rather than open countryside. The Gulf of Asinara and the beaches of Platamona are the nearest stretch of coast, about 10 km away. Porto Torres is the nearest port town, and Sassari itself is a provincial capital with a large historic centre, university, hospitals and full services. The Nurra plain lies to the west and north-west, with broad agricultural land and scattered Mediterranean scrub. The area is known for the Candelieri procession in Sassari, which is on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.
