This is a judicial auction listing (RGE 80/2015) so legal and possession risks apply; the ad does not give the official area and photos are only indicative. Price €10,757 (~€69/m2 on the published 155 m2) with an assumed renovation of ~€700/m2, but auction status makes this unsuitable as a straightforward purchase.
More on the house and the area
Interiors in the photos look newly tiled and clean with a modern shower room and finished floors — a realistically liveable, low-cost unit if the images are accurate. However there’s no photo of the building exterior, setting or historic character and the ad warns images may be indicative, so verify the real condition and auction/legal paperwork before assuming move-in readiness.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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.
- Photos in the ad are stated as indicative and may not represent this exact unit
- Property is sold at auction — check legal/perizia and extra costs before bidding
- No exterior, setting or views shown in the photos (confirm location and outlook)
- Listing data is inconsistent (ad shows 0 bathrooms but photos include at least one)
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 62/100The cluster is in the inland Sicilian hills between the Simeto valley and the first rises toward the Erei. The Simeto river basin is the main landscape feature nearby, with dry hills, cultivated slopes and volcanic views toward Mount Etna from parts of the area. Catania is the nearest large city in daily use, with full services, rail links and the airport. Centuripe is known for its long ridge-top historic settlement and for important finds from the Roman period, including the archaeological museum.
