See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€361/m²), the price is below comparable Sicilian townhouses, but allowing about €41,600 for habitable-condition works brings the effective cost to roughly €560/m², above that benchmark. The independent layout, three bathrooms, large garage and investment potential add value, but the sea is 30 km away.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, habitable Caltagirone townhouse with multiple bedrooms, three bathrooms, balconies, and a very large garage. The rooftop-townscape view, old arched entrance, and historic urban setting add genuine character, while the interiors are plain and dated rather than beautiful. At €75,000 for 208 sqm, it offers strong space-for-money appeal, but it feels more like a practical Sicilian home than a dream renovation showcase.
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€14,000 – €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.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Visible ceiling staining should be checked for damp or roof/plumbing issues.
- The urban townhouse has balconies but no private garden or outdoor living area.
- Verify the condition and usability of both kitchens, utilities, and the large garage.
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.
