See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The text also contradicts the the listing condition: despite being marked 'Renovated', the house is 'al grezzo', not usable, with finishes and systems to restore, implying roughly €1,100/m² renovation on top of the €20,240 price.
More on the house and the area
This is very cheap for a detached house near Marsala with a little private outdoor space and a large attached store, but nothing in the materials shown suggests real visual wow. The key issue is condition: despite the listing saying renovated, the description states it is currently unfinished and not habitable, with damp problems and utilities to restore. It reads as a practical low-cost project rather than a dream-ready Italian home.
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€39,000 – €57,000
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.
- Currently unfinished and explicitly not usable until works are completed
- Rising damp with floors and plaster being redone
- Water and electrical systems need restoring
- Part of the warehouse roof is covered with eternit/asbestos sheets
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 68/100The cluster is in the coastal plain around Marsala on the western tip of Sicily, facing the Stagnone lagoon and the island of Mozia. The coast here is low and salt-flat rather than cliffed, with the Riserva Naturale Orientata Isole dello Stagnone immediately by Marsala. Marsala is the nearest town of size and has a large historic centre, port functions, wine cellars and the archaeological museum with finds from Mozia. The area is known for salt pans, Marsala wine and Punic archaeology linked to Mozia.
