This is a judicial auction listing, which carries legal/possession risks so we treat it as a trap. Price €85,857 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (206 m²) yields an effective €127,057 (~€617/m²), and the ad warns the photos/planimetry are not the real ones.
More on the house and the area
The interiors shown are bright, modern and essentially move‑in ready, so it reads as a comfortable, freshly renovated home. However there’s no evidence here of the villa’s outdoor space, views or historic Sicilian character — and the ad itself warns the images may be illustrative, so request real photos, plans and confirmation of the land before proceeding.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative/stock and may not be the actual property.
- No photos show the exterior, land, garden or any view — only interiors and a generic apartment facade.
- Inconsistency between the 'villa with terreno' description and the pictured apartment-like exterior; verify actual floorplans and boundaries.
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.
