What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €422/m², the €38,000 asking price is slightly below the local €464/m² benchmark, but one portion is renovated while another needs work. Allowing roughly €500/m² for mixed-condition renovation brings the effective cost to about €922/m², weakening the initial discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable home with a bright, stylish renovated living area, modern kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. However, the property is clearly divided between a polished section and a much older portion requiring real renovation, so it feels more like a characterful bargain project than a ready-made 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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Only part of the house is renovated; the older portion needs substantial refurbishment.
- Older rooms show damp, peeling plaster, dated fixtures and worn finishes.
- The property is spread over multiple levels, with a basic urban terrace and no scenic view visible.
- The renovated section is attractive, but the older kitchen and bathroom will likely need updating.
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.
