This is a judicial auction (offer min €19,826) — auction sales carry legal risks. At €19,820 plus estimated renovation €200/m² (72 m² → €14,400) the effective price is ≈€34,220 (≈€475/m²), above the regional baseline €380/m².
More on the house and the area
A small, practical independent house (72 m²) spread over three floors with basic, sound finishes and working electrical/plumbing — essentially habitable with light updating. The real appeal is the price (big auction discount), but the property has no charm in the photos, no heating and is sold at auction, so inspect documents and the house in person before bidding.
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.
- No heating or air-conditioning; energy class G (likely needs efficiency upgrades)
- Peripheral location — limited proven views (sea ~2 km but not guaranteed)
- Sale by judicial auction — verify perizia, legal title and visit before bidding
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.
