This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale / RGE), so purchase requires auction procedures and is flagged accordingly. Price €50,992 for 214 m² with estimated renovation €200/m² (€42,800 total) → effective ≈ €438/m², and the ad states images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
The interior photos show a recently finished, bright and neutral apartment that looks move‑in ready, and one window shot suggests open countryside views. However the ad warns images are generic and the unit is described as S1‑T (semi‑basement/ground) and sold at auction, so you must verify real photos, confirm bathrooms/utilities and inspect light and external access before assuming it's the turnkey rural home it appears to be.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 the photos are indicative and may not be of the actual property — verify real images and planimetry.
- Ad appears to cover a semi‑basement/ground unit (piano S1‑T) — check natural light, ceiling height and whether parts are below street level.
- Property is sold at auction — investigate legal status, outstanding charges and the auction procedure before bidding.
- No clear photos of the exterior, garden/land use or actual building facade — confirm access and condition of the included 880 m² parcel.
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 60/100The area sits in the inland Erei hills, with cultivated ridges, wheat fields, pasture and wooded patches around a hill town. The Gela plain lies to the south within this part of central Sicily. The nearest town of size is Enna, which has a historic hilltop centre and regional services. Piazza Armerina is known for the Roman Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO World Heritage site just outside the town, with extensive late Roman mosaics.
