In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €600/m² and €90,000 purchase price, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,300/m² (€195,000 total), versus a local baseline of €443/m². Central Alcamo location, 35 photos, garage and veranda add value, but the renovation premium makes this a weak-to-average deal.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, bright 150 sqm townhouse with traditional patterned floors, ornate chandeliers, vintage wood furniture, balconies and a usable top-floor veranda. It appears fully roofed and functional with a kitchen, three bathrooms and multiple bedrooms, but the interiors are very dated and would need a meaningful refresh rather than being a polished move-in dream home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €53,000
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 home is highly dated and will need cosmetic modernization, especially the kitchen, bathroom, floors and furnishings.
- The ground-floor room is described as empty and versatile rather than finished living space.
- No notable sea, mountain or countryside view is shown; the appeal is primarily the generous townhouse layout and central Alcamo location.
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.
