What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective price ≈ €671/m² (€60,000 + estimated €10,500 renovation at €100/m²), about 44% above the regional median €467/m² for similar country houses in Sicily, so this is overpriced for our stock.
More on the house and the area
A solid, modest town house in Comiso with a fully finished ground-floor living area and a big garage — you could move in and complete the upper floor and attic over time. Not photogenic or historic, but the price (60k for 105 m²) is a genuine bargain for Sicily; expect additional costs to finish the upper levels and modernise services.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- First floor and mansarda shown as partially unfinished with exposed brick — further finishing required.
- Only one bathroom is listed; layout and services may need upgrading.
- Large garage/workshop area is cluttered and would need clearing/fit-out.
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 55/100This is the inland Hyblaean plateau around Comiso, with low limestone hills, dry-stone walls, quarries and a farmed landscape of olive groves, vineyards and fields. The nearest coast is the Strait of Sicily shore around Marina di Ragusa and Scoglitti, with sandy beaches and low coastal ground rather than cliffs. Ragusa is the nearest larger town and has the Baroque historic quarters of Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore; together with nearby Modica and Scicli, this south-eastern Sicilian Baroque area has UNESCO status. The area is known for agriculture, especially wine, olive oil and greenhouse horticulture toward the coast.
