See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €445/m², the €89,000 price is close to the local €417/m² benchmark before works; allowing about €450/m² for modernization puts the effective cost near €895/m². The habitable 200 m² house has a sound roof, heating, courtyard and terrace in the historic center, but the renovation burden substantially weakens the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable Sardinian townhouse with two floors, two bathrooms, heating, a courtyard, veranda, and terrace. Its main appeal is generous space and livability rather than visual drama; it needs updating, but the sound roof and functioning systems keep it well above a renovation shell.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.

The area around
Location score 47/100Solarussa sits on the Campidano di Oristano plain near the lower Tirso river. Within this radius the landscape is mainly flat agricultural land with irrigation channels, orchards and fields, with the wetlands and fish-pond belt around Oristano and Cabras lying nearby toward the coast. Oristano is the nearest town of size, with the provincial services, a historic centre and the cathedral. The area is known for citrus growing and for the rice-growing and wetland plain of the Oristanese.
