Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (tribunal sale) — auction listings are a veto for this catalog; price €10,978 for 114 m² (~€96/m²). The ad warns photos/planimoria may be repertory; assuming €700/m² renovation yields an effective ≈€796/m² vs regional baseline €450/m².
More on the house and the area
Plain narrow townhouse in an urban street of Catania with an intact but worn façade; the building looks roofed and solid but needs external and likely internal refurbishment. The ad uses repertory interior images, so the real livability is unknown — a real bargain for a hands-on buyer prepared for renovation and auction paperwork.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €40,000
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.
- Listing uses stock/repertory interior photos — actual rooms not shown
- Exterior shows peeling plaster and wear; likely requires renovation work
- No interior condition, bathrooms or utilities documented — check before bidding
- Sold at auction — expect legal/bureaucratic steps and possible delays
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 55/100Mount Etna rises immediately north-west of the city, with the Etna Park on its upper slopes. The Ionian coast is at the edge of the built-up area. Catania is a major city with a large historic centre of Baroque churches and palaces, a port, university, airport and full services. The city is part of a broad urban and industrial strip along the coast and at the foot of Etna.
