What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €83,000 for 192 sqm, the ask is €432/sqm, but with no stated condition I assume a moderate renovation budget of about €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,132/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 29 comps) and the effective cost sits far above its €327/sqm median, though the large size, semi-independent layout, courtyard and 19 photos support it as a plausible but not standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, usable house rather than a ruin: it has finished floors, a bathroom, bedrooms and a fireplace, so you could likely live in it while updating. But the look is very plain and dated, with no real view, little historic charm, and a stark concrete courtyard. At the price, the size is appealing, yet the dream factor is modest.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and need significant cosmetic updating.
- Courtyard is very raw and hardscaped rather than a charming outdoor space.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large 192 sqm house.
- No proven views or special exterior 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 67/100The area lies in the Iglesiente, with low hills and mining-country relief rather than a plain. Monte Linas and the Linas massif are within about 15 km to the north-east, and the Marganai forest area begins nearby; this is part of the Monte Linas–Marganai zone of south-west Sardinia. The Cixerri river valley runs through this part of the province. Iglesias is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for cork oak woodland, old mining landscapes, and in Villamassargia itself for the large S'Ortu Mannu olive grove with very old olive trees.
