What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 150 sqm, the asking price is €567/sqm; with the description suggesting partially renovated but habitable, I estimate about €250/sqm renovation, for an effective cost near €817/sqm. The local baseline is weak, so I rely more on absolute plausibility: the price is reasonable for a large habitable house, but the extra covered areas include storage/tool sheds rather than full living space, which tempers the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a ruin: the main rooms, bathrooms and kitchen look functional and broadly move-in ready, with a large terrace and generous courtyard/outbuildings. The wow comes more from practicality, space and price than beauty—the exterior is modest and the covered service areas are fairly rough. For €85k, it feels like a solid Sardinian live-in property with room to improve, not a dreamy showpiece.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Exterior is plain and roadside rather than picturesque.
- Partially renovated: several ancillary covered areas look basic/utilitarian.
- Immediate habitability depends on water connection to Abbanoa, despite reserve tank/autoclave.
- No proven standout view or special historic interior character in the photos.
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 49/100The area is the Trexenta, a low hilly agricultural zone of central-southern Sardinia with fields, olive groves and small villages. The Flumendosa river system lies to the east of this part of the province, but around Senorbì the immediate landscape is mainly inland farmland rather than a marked river or mountain setting. Cagliari is the nearest city of size and has the main services, port and airport for the area. The area is known for cereal farming, vines and olive oil.
