- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing (asta), which triggers a veto. Price €15,060 plus estimated renovation €49,000 (700 €/m²) yields an effective ~€915/m² versus regional baseline €446/m²; the ad also warns the images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
Plain town-centre townhouse with an urban outlook and no scenic views; some photos show bright, modern interiors but the legal listing flags it as needing renovation and sold at auction. Very low price makes it an attractive project or investment, but expect work and auction-related complexity before it becomes a comfortable home.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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 sold at auction (RGE) — special purchase process and potential extra costs/pauses
- Listing states condition as 'Needs renovation' — expect refurbishment of finishes, systems or structural work
- Ad warns images may be indicative and not the real apartment — photos might be staged/not accurate
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 53/100The cluster lies in the inland Sicilian hill country around the upper Simeto basin, with broad cereal farmland, clay and tuff hills, and the first relief of the Erei and southern Catania uplands in the surrounding landscape. The Simeto river system is the main natural feature of this part of the province. Catania is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, rail connections and airport access. The area is known chiefly for grain farming, olive groves and inland rural estates rather than for a named protected landscape or major visitor site within the immediate radius.
