In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
- Only a share of the property is for sale
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the property is subject to a judicially enforceable life-right, making acquisition encumbered; effective cost ≈ €87,850 (€52,650 + €200/m² × 176) → ≈ €499/m², above the regional median €384/m². The ad also says images are not the real photos and the listed bath count contradicts the description, so the listing is risky for buyers.
More on the house and the area
The photos show large, bright, modern and largely move-in-ready interiors (notably the kitchen and main rooms), so this feels like a real, usable home. Proceed with caution: the lot is an auction asset with an opposition right of habitation and the listing warns images may be indicative — confirm actual bathrooms, outdoor space and possession timing before bidding.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Property sold at auction and subject to a judicial right of habitation (occupant) — legal/possession issues likely.
- Advert states images may be indicative and not the real photos of the unit — verify actual condition and rooms.
- No clear exterior/garden or sea view shown in the photos despite description of garden and near-sea location.
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 70/100The cluster is on the coastal plain west of Cagliari at the foot of the Sulcis mountains. The Gulf of Cagliari and the long beach system around La Maddalena Spiaggia and the Santa Gilla lagoon are within the local area. Monte Arcosu and the WWF reserve of the same name lie inland in the Sulcis massif, with Mediterranean forest and wildlife habitat. Cagliari is the nearest city of size, with a port, airport, university and the main services of southern Sardinia. The area is known for lagoon landscapes, beaches on the gulf, and the wooded mountains behind Capoterra.
