What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale Caltagirone), offered at €13,129 (€50/m2 for 260 m2) — auction status makes it a legal/process risk. The ad gives no condition details and warns the photos are not the real ones, so expect unknown major renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
The images show a stylish, recently‑refreshed interior with a lovely open-plan living/kitchen and modern bathrooms — a very liveable, photogenic home if those finishes are real. However this is an auction lot and the advertiser warns the photos are only indicative, so confirm the actual condition, layout and any legal/occupancy issues before dreaming of an immediate move‑in.
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€51,000 – €91,000
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 notes the photos are indicative and may not show the actual unit — actual condition/finishes could differ.
- Property is offered at auction (legal/fees/possible occupancy issues) — expect extra costs and due diligence.
- Listing data is inconsistent (bath count missing, building spans multiple floors) — verify floor plan and services before assuming move-in readiness.
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 39/100The area around Ramacca is inland in the Catania plain, with broad agricultural land and low rolling ground rather than a marked mountain or coastal setting. The Dittaino valley is part of the local landscape, and the Simeto river system runs through this part of inland eastern Sicily. Catania is the nearest large city, with full services, rail links and airport access. This part of the province is known mainly for arable farming and citrus production.
