This is a judicial auction (procedural/legal risk). Price €47,640 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (214 m² → effective ≈ €90,440, ≈ €423/m²) which is above the local baseline of €380/m²; the listing also contradicts itself about the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
Large 2‑storey 1940s town house (214 m²) with high ceilings, balcony and a terrace — characterful and structurally usable. Listed in decent condition with utilities but no heating; excellent bargain price for someone ready to modernise and personalise.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 auction — visit and document checks required
- No central heating (listed as 'assente'), likely needs new heating system
- Limited photos available of interior/exterior — condition described as 'discreto' but not fully verifiable
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 58/100The cluster lies on the Hyblaean plateau inland from Siracusa, in a landscape of low limestone tableland cut by dry valleys and cultivated with citrus, olives and arable fields. The Anapo and Ciane river area and the Riserva Naturale Orientata Cavagrande del Cassibile are within the wider surroundings of this part of inland Siracusa province, though not all points around Floridia sit directly inside those gorges. Siracusa is the nearest city of size and has major historic fabric including Ortigia and the archaeological park. This area is known for Hyblaean limestone countryside and for agriculture linked to the Siracusa plain, especially citrus.
