See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (not a normal sale). Estimated renovation €700/m² → renovation ≈ €32,900 and effective price ≈ €65,058 (≈€1,384/m²), well above the Sardegna baseline €422/m²; the ad also warns images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
Photos show bright, modern interiors with attractive floors and a stylish fitted kitchen, so the home has real visual appeal. However the listing warns the unit needs renovation and the photos may be illustrative only — budget for works and confirm the actual condition before bidding.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 63/100The cluster is on the Gulf of Cagliari coast, with low rocky shores and beaches around Porto Columbu and the Santa Vittoria side of Sarroch. The Sulcis hills begin inland, with Mediterranean scrub and low limestone relief rather than high mountains. Nora and the lagoon area of Pula are nearby on the same stretch of coast. Cagliari is the nearest city of size, with full services, a port and airport.
