See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €85,000 plus an estimated full-renovation cost of €700/m² (155 m² → €108,500) yields an effective price ≈ €193,500 or ~€1,248/m², far above the Sardegna baseline of €422/m². Listing states the property needs complete renovation and is not mortgageable, which raises total project cost.
More on the house and the area
A compact independent house on a 155 sqm urban lot in Elmas with clear rebuilding potential — good value for investors or a full renovation project. The photos show a plain, intact street façade but no interior or scenic features; this is a project house rather than a move-in home.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property needs a complete renovation (structurally standing but not habitable).
- Not mortgageable (sale noted as non-mutuabile).
- No attractive views or private green space shown — tight urban lot in a row of houses.
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 47/100The cluster sits on the Campidano plain at the edge of the Santa Gilla lagoon system, one of the main wetland areas around Cagliari. The Gulf of Cagliari coast is nearby, with the Poetto beach and the beaches around Capoterra and Quartu in the wider bay, but the immediate setting is low flat ground, canals, roads and airport infrastructure. Cagliari is the nearest city and provides the full range of services, a large historic centre, port and main transport links for southern Sardinia. The area is known for the lagoon environment and birdlife, especially flamingos, and for being the transport gateway of southern Sardinia because of the airport.
