What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 180 m² (€306/m²), the asking price is attractive, but allowing about €200/m² for a large mixed residential/office property brings the effective cost to roughly €506/m², slightly above the local €464/m² benchmark. The home is described as being in good condition, though part of the building is an office rather than residential space.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly large, fully furnished 180 sqm home with several bedrooms, three bathrooms and attractive elevated views toward the surrounding Sicilian hills. It appears solid and immediately usable rather than a renovation shell, though the decor and some finishes are distinctly old-fashioned and would benefit from updating.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 very dated, especially the patterned tiles, wallpaper and bathrooms.
- The property includes an office area and is arranged over two levels, so the layout may need adaptation for a single household.
- No information is provided on energy class, heating efficiency or exact outdoor space.
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 52/100The cluster sits in the inland hills between the Platani valley and the coast of the Strait of Sicily, in a landscape of clay and cultivated ridges typical of central Agrigento. The Platani River is the main watercourse in the area. Agrigento is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Valle dei Templi archaeological area. The coast near Porto Empedocle and the beaches west of Agrigento are outside the immediate radius and do not define the landscape here. This part of the province is known for cereals, olive groves and sulphur-mining country.
