The listing calls it 'Renovated' but the text says new-build 'da rifinire' (finishings left to buyer), so I estimate €200/m² (€37k). Effective price ≈ €112k → €605/m² versus regional median €439/m², making it overpriced after completion costs.
More on the house and the area
Solid new-construction shell with two full floors and a garage in central Ramacca — good square‑metre value for the price. However the property is unfinished inside and is a project to complete rather than a move‑in home.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Property is sold 'da rifinire' — interiors appear unfinished and will need full completion (floors, finishes, bathrooms/kitchen).
- No interior photos provided; condition of systems (plumbing, electrical, heating) and legal/title/permits are not shown and should be verified.
- No private outdoor space or notable views; building sits on a narrow town street with neighbouring buildings close by.
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.
