See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (offers due 17/11/2026) — legal/administrative risk; price €37,370 plus estimated renovation €48,000 (200 €/m² × 240 m²) => effective €85,370 (~356 €/m²), slightly below the local median €380/m² but auction status makes this a high-risk purchase.
More on the house and the area
A large corner house in Caltagirone’s centro storico with original balconies, exposed timber ceiling and a small terrace — characterful and genuinely habitable. Photos and the report show good overall condition and live-in finishes, and the very low auction price makes it a strong bargain if you accept narrow-street access and perform full pre-auction checks.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Located in the narrow historic centre — access via steep stone steps and likely no private parking
- Property is sold at auction — do legal/title due diligence before bidding
- Seminterrato (technical room) is rustic and water serbatoi present; terrace is modest, no sea view
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.
