What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 240 sqm, the asking price is just €271/sqm, but the description says da ristrutturare, so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation; effective cost is roughly €971/sqm. The local baseline is weak, so comparison is uncertain, and on that basis this looks more like a large fair-value renovation project than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a large independent town building with a surprisingly open rooftop view over Favara, and the €65k price for 240 sqm has some bargain appeal. But the house is dated and clearly needs real renovation, with worn finishes, facade moisture issues, and at least one room showing major ceiling deterioration. It feels like a usable structure to rework rather than an immediately dream-worthy Italian 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€48,000 – €84,000
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.
- Needs significant renovation and updating throughout
- Visible damp and facade deterioration at street level
- One room shows serious ceiling/plaster failure
- View is urban rooftop, not a landmark terrace setting
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.
