What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly says 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE', so it is a judicial auction and fails the catalog veto rule regardless of price. It is near the sea and the nominal €436/m² is close to the €382/m² baseline, but auction risk dominates.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, usable townhouse rather than a dream-property beauty piece. The house appears basically habitable with kitchen, stairs, floors and outdoor space, but the architecture and setting are plain and the presentation is tired, so the wow comes mostly from the size-for-price value.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Auction sale: documents and occupancy status need checking.
- No bathroom photos shown despite listing claiming two baths.
- Interiors look dated and somewhat cluttered, so refresh likely needed.
- Suburban setting with no proven sea view despite being near the coast.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Licata area on the southern Sicilian coast, with the Mediterranean and the mouth of the Salso river within the local landscape. The coastline here alternates between low sandy stretches and short limestone headlands, including the Licata seafront and the hill of Monte Sant'Angelo above the town. Torre di Gaffe beach lies nearby to the east, and the coast continues toward the Poliscia and Mollarella area. Licata itself is the nearest town of size, with a port, a seafront, and an old centre laid out below Monte Sant'Angelo. The area is known for fishing, agriculture and the coastal setting of this part of southern Sicily.
