What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000, the 90 m² house looks cheap, but renovation at roughly €700/m² adds about €63,000, bringing the effective cost near €91,000 (€1,011/m²), well above the local €445/m² benchmark. The listing has only one photo and gives no energy or construction details, increasing uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, inexpensive townhouse in a compact Sicilian town, with balconies and potential for a practical three-bedroom home. However, the visible exterior is worn and unremarkable, and the stated renovation requirement means it currently feels more like a project than a dream home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs renovation and the only photo shows a neglected, worn exterior area.
- No interior photos, so the actual layout, finishes, kitchen, bathroom, roof, and utilities cannot be verified.
- The property is on a narrow urban street with no visible garden or attractive view.
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.
