What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the ask is just €311/m², the description says the building is "completely demolished inside" with only an expired permit/project, so this is effectively a full restoration/rebuild case at about €1,100/m². That puts effective cost around €1,411/m² versus a €446/m² baseline, making it a very weak buy unless you specifically want a major reconstruction project.
More on the house and the area
The street facade has real period character, with decorative stonework, iron balconies and the feel of an old Sicilian palazzina. But the listing explicitly says the interior has been completely demolished, so this is a rebuild project rather than a usable house today. The size and price are interesting, yet condition hard-caps the wow.
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€89,000 – €132,000
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.
- Interior completely demolished; this is not currently a livable home.
- Expired building permit/project will need to be reactivated.
- Facade and structure show visible deterioration and unfinished openings.
- No interior photos, utilities, kitchen or bathrooms proven.
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 53/100The cluster sits in the inland hills east of Palermo, in the upper valley system that feeds the Eleuterio and Milicia rivers, with cultivated slopes, scrub and low limestone ridges typical of this side of the Palermitan hinterland. Monte Jato and the first reliefs of the Sicani direction are within the wider inland horizon, but the immediate landscape is mainly agricultural hill country rather than a single named scenic formation. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full set of services, rail links, port and airport access. The area is known locally for olive groves, cereal land and dispersed rural settlement in the hills behind the north coast.
