See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the low €31,500 asking price. The listing also contradicts the 'Renovated' label: the description says the roof slab is in poor condition with rusted rebar and needs renovation, implying roughly €1,100/m² works on the residential portion.
More on the house and the area
There is no photo evidence of charm, views, historic character, or even the actual house exterior/interior, so this has almost no dream-home pull. The description points to a real structural problem in the roof slab, plus missing comfort basics, making it a renovation case rather than a usable beautiful home. The low price helps, but not enough to create 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€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- No real property photos are shown, so beauty and setting cannot be verified.
- Description states the first-floor roof slab is in poor structural condition and needs renovation.
- Heating is absent and no bathroom is specified.
- This is an auction property with mixed residential/commercial units and a shared courtyard.
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 49/100This is inland south-central Sicily, with low chalk and clay hills used for grain fields, olive groves and vineyards. The Salso basin is the main geographic frame in this part of the province, though the immediate surroundings are mostly agricultural uplands rather than a marked river landscape. Mazzarino is the nearest historic town of note in the area, with a substantial old centre and castle remains. Gela on the coast is the nearest larger town, with full services, port and rail connections. The area is known above all for cereal farming and broad open interior Sicilian countryside.
