Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction sale, which carries legal/process risk. Price €8,427 (≈€46/m2); with an estimated €200/m2 renovation the effective price is ~€45,427 (~€246/m2) vs local median €446/m2, but the auction status makes it unsuitable for regular buyers.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Large 185 m² townhouse in Assoro's historic centre at a rock‑bottom price — excellent bargain potential. Habitable in principle but the façade is tired and interior/bathroom fit‑out and auction/legal issues must be checked before assuming move‑in readiness.

Updating, not renovation
€37,000 – €53,000

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€12,000 – €21,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Exterior façade looks worn and will need cosmetic (or structural) refurbishment.
  • Listing shows 0 bathrooms — property may need at least one full bathroom installed.
  • Interior condition not visible in provided photo gallery; verify floors, roof and utilities before bidding.
  • Sale is by judicial auction — check legal/occupancy constraints and costs related to the procedure.

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 56/100

The cluster sits in the inland Erei hills of central Sicily, in a landscape of cultivated hills, grain fields, olive groves and erosion-cut valleys. The Dittaino valley is the main lower ground nearby, and Lake Nicoletti lies a few kilometres west of Leonforte. Enna is the nearest town of size, with the hilltop historic centre, the Lombard-era castle area and the usual provincial services. This part of inland Sicily is known for cereal farming and hill towns rather than for a single protected or nationally distinctive landscape.
