At €250/m², the €20,000 asking price is below the €445/m² local reference, but this is a collabente ruin rather than a livable home: demolition and reconstruction are proposed, with buildability expressly unverified. Allow roughly €1,100/m² for rebuilding; the 800 m² lot adds potential but does not remove the execution and planning risk.
More on the house and the area
The 800 sqm citrus-filled lot is the main attraction, offering greenery and potential for a garden, parking, or a new home. The existing 80 sqm structure is visibly derelict, with a badly damaged roof and no evidence of usable living space, so this is a land-and-rebuild project rather than a cheap livable house.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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 property is described as a collabente ruin and is not currently habitable.
- The roof has major collapsed sections and likely requires demolition or complete reconstruction.
- No usable interior, kitchen, or bathroom is shown.
- Building rights and the feasibility of reconstruction must be verified with the municipality.
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 55/100This is the inland Hyblaean plateau around Comiso, with low limestone hills, dry-stone walls, quarries and a farmed landscape of olive groves, vineyards and fields. The nearest coast is the Strait of Sicily shore around Marina di Ragusa and Scoglitti, with sandy beaches and low coastal ground rather than cliffs. Ragusa is the nearest larger town and has the Baroque historic quarters of Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore; together with nearby Modica and Scicli, this south-eastern Sicilian Baroque area has UNESCO status. The area is known for agriculture, especially wine, olive oil and greenhouse horticulture toward the coast.
