This is a judicial auction (offer min €62,456) which carries legal/procedural risk, so treated as a trap. Listing describes the 160 m² house as in “discreto” condition; I estimate ~€200/m² (~€32k) for updates, but condition and some data (energy class) are not fully documented.
More on the house and the area
Solid 160 m² independent house (stone masonry, built ~1941) with a 17 m² garage in a residential area of Caltagirone. The building appears structurally sound and sellable at a significant auction discount, but the listing contains no real photos and the property lacks heating and recent maintenance — a realistic, affordable project home rather than a turnkey dream.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- No photos of the actual house in the gallery — only maps and documents
- No heating system (listed as absent) and likely need for other modernisation
- Property is sold at auction and currently occupied (procedural/legal steps required)
- Description notes general lack of recent maintenance — cosmetic/functional work likely required
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.
