- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (RGE 217/2023) which brings extra legal complexity. At €36,720 (€268/m²) plus estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€95,900) the effective price is ≈€132,620 (≈€969/m²) versus the local median €422/m², so it is not a bargain once renovation and auction costs are considered.
More on the house and the area
Large 137 m² apartment in a dense urban block with straightforward, modern interiors but no historic character or scenic views. The very low price is attractive, but the auction status and stated need for renovation (and the warning that photos may be indicative) mean this is a budget project rather than a dream 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€27,000 – €48,000
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.

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 58/100The cluster lies on the Campidano plain near the Stagno di Santa Gilla lagoon, with the Gulf of Cagliari coast about 12 km away. Monte Arcosu and the forested mountains of the Sulcis-Iglesiente are within roughly 15 km to the west and southwest, and the Monte Arcosu WWF oasis is one of the main protected areas close by.

The area is known for ceramics at Assemini and for the wetlands and birdlife of the Santa Gilla lagoon.
