Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €45,000 + estimated renovation €20,000 (200 €/m² × 100 m²) gives an effective price of ~€65,000 or ~650 €/m², well above the local median of 387 €/m². The listing says the house is in good, ready-to-live condition and includes 24 photos, but being 45 km from the sea and ~68% pricier than the regional median makes this an overpriced deal.
More on the house and the area
A solid, livable three‑level village house with high ceilings in places but very dated interiors. Not photogenic or view‑led, but definitely usable as‑is and a good-value buy for someone willing to modernize the kitchen, lighting and finishings.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 finishes and fixtures — cosmetic updating needed
- Narrow kitchen and compact rooms / limited living space
- Some low windows and signs of ceiling staining – check damp/ventilation
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 67/100The area sits in the Goceano uplands below the Marghine and central-northern Sardinian mountain country. The Tirso river basin is nearby, and Lake Coghinas lies farther north outside the immediate surroundings. Burgos is known for Castello del Goceano, the medieval hilltop castle above the village. Forested hills, pasture and basaltic volcanic relief are typical of this part of inland Sassari province. The nearest larger town for everyday services is Ozieri.
