At €145/m², this 131 m² townhouse is deeply discounted versus the local €446/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for ordinary updating gives an effective cost near €345/m². The listing includes a garage, private outdoor area, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, though it does not state the property's condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a surprisingly substantial, usable 131 sqm townhouse with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage, and a small planted outdoor area. It has no standout historic character or dramatic view, and the interiors are very dated, but the house appears occupied and functional rather than a renovation shell.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors and bathrooms would benefit from modernization.
- Visible exterior wear, cracked paving, and some apparent damp or staining require inspection.
- The property is split over two levels with stairs and an attached garage; utilities and legal status are not shown.
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 58/100The cluster is in the inland Belice valley, among cultivated hills between the lower slopes of the Sicani area and the plain that opens toward the south-western coast. The Belice River system shapes this part of the province, and the ruins of old Poggioreale from the 1968 Belice earthquake are a known landmark in the immediate area. Gibellina Nuova and Salemi are the nearest larger centres with everyday services and historic cores. This part of western Sicily is known for vineyards, olive groves and earthquake-rebuilt towns rather than for a protected coast or a major mountain landscape within the immediate radius.
