See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €55,000 (≈€647/m²) with an estimated renovation of €700/m² gives an effective cost of about €114,500 (~€1,347/m²), well above the Sardegna median of €384/m². Positives: 3 km from the sea and an approved project; negatives: full rebuild required so overall price is high for a renovation project.
More on the house and the area
A traditional Campidanese cottage with original cane-and-wood roofing, exposed mud-brick walls and a private ~100 m² courtyard with fruit trees — lots of Sardinian character. The interior is largely a shell and needs complete rebuilding, so this is a restoration project rather than a move-in-ready 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.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
