What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingHabitableThe photographs say otherwise, and we go by the photographs.
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction sale (extra legal risk). Assuming €200/m² renovation (€39,200), effective price ≈€103,472 or ≈€528/m², higher than the regional baseline of €446/m²; the ad also warns the photos are not the real property.
More on the house and the area
The photos show clean, modern, recently-updated interiors (new floors, kitchen and bathroom finishes) and the size/price is a strong bargain for ~196 m². It looks livable with minimal work, but it sits in a plain urban block with no visible outdoor/landscape charm and the ad warns images may not be of the actual unit.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 images are indicative and may not be the actual photos of this unit
- Property appears to be in a dense apartment block with no private garden or scenic views shown
- Sale via auction — expect legal/administrative steps and possible extra costs
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 68/100The area sits in the inland Erei hills, with cultivated ridges and broad valleys rather than high mountains. The nearest significant river landscape is the Simeto basin to the east. The nearest town of size is Caltagirone itself, which has an extensive historic centre, major Baroque churches and palaces, and is known nationally for ceramics. Caltagirone is part of the Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto UNESCO listing. The surrounding countryside is known for cereal fields, olive groves and mixed inland farming.
