Effective price ≈ €72,500 (asking €39,500 + €33,000 renovation at €200/m²) → ≈ €439/m², slightly below the local median of €446/m². Habitable condition, 16 photos and a central Alcamo location make this a solid low-entry townhouse with modest savings versus the regional median.
More on the house and the area
A solid, fully roofed 165 m² town house with authentic vintage details (patterned tiles, traditional oven) and a usable roof terrace — clearly habitable now but visibly dated. Excellent value for size and central Alcamo location, ideal for someone wanting a liveable starter home to modernize rather than a ready-made showpiece.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Dated interiors and bathrooms — cosmetic updating and new kitchen will be needed.
- Town-centre location; no obvious sea or landscape views from photos and may be noisy.
- Four levels with internal stairs — consider accessibility and moving large items.
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.
