Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€594/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €794/m², well above the local comparison level of €464/m². The property is only 2 km from the sea and appears substantial, but its condition and key technical details are not stated, limiting confidence.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent Sicilian townhouse with a characterful old facade, tall openings, decorative details, and a private terrace/courtyard opportunity. The 143 sqm layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms suggests a genuinely usable home, but the exterior is tired and the unseen interior condition could require meaningful 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€10,000 – €16,000
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 facade is visibly weathered and will likely need exterior refurbishment.
- Interior condition, kitchen, bathrooms, roof, and systems are not shown.
- The home is in a dense town setting with no apparent garden or 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.
