What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
In the listingNeeds renovation- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (RGE noted), not a standard sale. Listed price €34,121 for 735 m2 but estimated renovation €700/m2 (~€514,500) yields an effective ≈€746/m2, well above the regional baseline €446/m2.
More on the house and the area
The photos show very attractive, airy interiors with skylights, exposed beams and brick details — a photogenic, loft‑style volume. However the listing states the entire three‑storey building needs renovation and the images may be illustrative, so this is more a project than a move‑in home despite the very low price for the size.
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€146,000 – €258,000
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.

- Property listed as 'needs renovation' / in corso di costruzione — likely a shell or major works required
- Announcement notes the images are indicative (some photos appear to be renders) and may not represent the actual condition
- Large three‑storey building will likely need full utility hookups, permits and significant finishing
- No clear private outdoor space or notable views 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 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.
