This is a judicial auction (legal/acquisition risk). At €15,990 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (€92,400) the effective price is ≈€108,400 (≈€821/m²), far above the local median of €378/m², and the description contradicts the 'Renovated' label (rising damp, bad electrics, infiltrations).
More on the house and the area
A handsome, traditional Sicilian town-house with stone corner details, multiple balconies and a pleasant rooftop/town view — lots of character. The building is intact and arranged over three floors but the interior suffers from damp, failed services and worn finishes, so expect moderate-to-heavy renovation before full-time living. At €15,990 this is a genuine bargain for someone ready to upgrade.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Visible rising damp and signs of previous roof infiltration
- Electrical and plumbing in poor condition; interiors need significant refurbishment
- First floor described as non‑habitable; internal layout and finishes dated
- No private garden; access on a narrow historic street
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.
