See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which carries legal and bidding risks regardless of the €2,990 starting price. The listing also contradicts itself by calling the property renovated while describing it as requiring a complete renovation, estimated at about €1,100/m².
More on the house and the area
The €2,990 asking figure is striking, but there is no proven scenic setting, garden, historic character, or attractive interior to create a dream-home impression. It is a small two-room rural dwelling with a mezzanine in an urban neighborhood, and the description indicates a substantial renovation rather than a move-in-ready 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€16,000 – €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.
- The listing describes the property as requiring a complete renovation, despite the summary labeling it “renovated.”
- No bathroom, kitchen, utilities, heating, or usable interior finishes are documented.
- The images are largely promotional slides and maps; the listing warns that any property images may be indicative rather than actual.
- This is a judicial auction, so legal and transfer due diligence is essential.
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 39/100The area around Ramacca is inland in the Catania plain, with broad agricultural land and low rolling ground rather than a marked mountain or coastal setting. The Dittaino valley is part of the local landscape, and the Simeto river system runs through this part of inland eastern Sicily. Catania is the nearest large city, with full services, rail links and airport access. This part of the province is known mainly for arable farming and citrus production.
