See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is offered at a judicial auction (RGE/Gela), which carries legal and occupancy risks; asking price €28,275. With an estimated €200/m² refurbishment the effective price is ~€418/m² versus the regional baseline ~€448/m², but the auction status makes this a high-risk purchase.
More on the house and the area
Photos show clean, recently‑finished interiors (wood/wood‑look floors, modern bathroom and lighting) that look move‑in ready. It’s an inexpensive, habitable townhouse in Sicily but lacks scenic views or historic character and the listing is an auction — verify real photos and legal status 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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- This is an auction/foreclosure listing — expect legal fees and a formal purchase process.
- The ad itself warns the photos are indicative/stock — the real property's condition may differ.
- No outdoor garden, view, or historic features are visible in the pictures; confirm the terrace and external condition.
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 52/100The area sits on the inland side of the Gulf of Gela, with low rolling hills, cereal fields, olive groves and patches of Mediterranean scrub. The Biviere di Gela nature reserve lies nearby on the plain toward the coast, centred on a coastal lake and wetland. Gela is the nearest larger town, with full services, shops and a hospital. This part of southern Sicily is known for agriculture, especially artichokes and other field crops.
