Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale) so it carries auction-specific risks. At €17,562 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (153 m² = €107,100) the effective total ≈€124,662 (~€815/m²), well above the regional baseline of €448/m².

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The supplied photos show attractive, modern interiors and good light, but the official listing warns the images are indicative. The legal/auction listing and condition note that the townhouse needs renovation and is a multi-unit property — a cheap project with potential, not a turnkey dream home.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€54,000 – €77,000

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.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €54,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Listing explicitly says images are indicative and not the real photos — current condition may differ.
  • Facts state the property 'Needs renovation' and is offered at auction — likely not move-in ready.
  • Property is three separate units across ground, 1st and 2nd floors — consolidation/permits and significant works may be required.
  • No exterior gardens, views or private outdoor space are shown in the photos.

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 55/100

This is on the Gulf of Gela coast, with long sandy shoreline and the mouth area of the Gela river nearby. The Biviere di Gela nature reserve lies just outside the town and is a coastal wetland with a brackish lake and bird habitat. Gela is itself the nearest large town and has the services of a city, a historic centre, the Greek archaeology of ancient Gela, and an archaeological museum. The area is known for its coast, wetland reserve and archaeology, but the cluster sits in the built-up area of a city over 50,000 residents.
