This is a judicial auction property (special purchase procedure). At the €9,390 ask (≈€76/m²) plus an estimated €86,800 renovation (~€700/m²) the effective price is ≈€96,190 (≈€776/m²), well above the local baseline of €378/m², so it’s a risky, complex buy despite the low starting bid.
More on the house and the area
A compact, authentic centro storico house with original marble floors, a small balcony and a terrace — nice historic character for Mineo. The building is structurally present and contains bathrooms, but the interiors are run-down and need thorough renovation, systems upgrades and cleaning; great bargain if you’re prepared to invest in works.
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€24,000 – €44,000
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.
- Interior is neglected with peeling plaster, debris and likely damp in places
- No heating system; plumbing/electrical upgrades almost certainly required
- Small balconies/terrace only; narrow historic-street access may limit deliveries and parking
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.
