This is being sold in a judicial auction (offerta minima €19,826) which carries legal/timing risk, so treat as a trap. Estimated renovation €200/m² → effective price ≈ €34,220 (≈€475/m²) versus regional median €380/m², so the post-repair price is above typical local levels.
More on the house and the area
Small independent three‑storey town house (72 m²) in Pachino with two bedrooms, balcony and basic utilities; described as in 'discrete' condition and largely liveable but with no heating. The huge 58% discount makes it a genuine bargain for someone willing to buy at auction and do modest upgrades.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Property sold at judicial auction — legal process and timing apply
- No heating or air conditioning installed
- Energy class G (very inefficient) — likely upgrade costs
- Only brochure slides provided; no photos of the actual interior/exterior or views
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 81/100The cluster sits on the southeast tip of Sicily near the Ionian coast, with the coast of Capo Passero and the island of Capo Passero within the local landscape. The Vendicari Nature Reserve lies nearby along this stretch of coast, with lagoons, marshes and low rocky and sandy shoreline. Marzamemi is the nearest small centre of note on the coast, with a historic tuna-fishery core and harbour. Noto is the nearest larger historic town in daily reach, with a full range of services and its UNESCO Baroque old town. This area is known for tomatoes from Pachino, vineyards, and fishing along the coast.
