Estimated effective price ≈ €137k (€60k + €77k renovation at €700/m2) → about €1,245/m2. That's ~2.8× the regional baseline of €438/m2, so for a 110 m2 house that still needs renovation the asking price looks too high despite the 220 m2 private land.
More on the house and the area
A patinated, characterful town house in the historic heart of Motta with a rare 220 m² private yard/parking — very photogenic outside and excellent value for the price. Interiors are rough and need substantial work, so this is a renovation project rather than a move‑in ready home.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Significant renovation required inside (plaster, floors, bathrooms, services).
- Some parts look structurally tired and there is debris — budget for structural/roof checks and permits.
- Narrow street access; parking/gate area is tight though a gated yard/garage exists.
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 38/100Mount Etna rises to the north and is the dominant landform of this part of the Catania plain. The Simeto river runs nearby across the plain. The cluster lies on the western side of the built-up Catania area, in lowland country of roads, logistics sites and cultivated land around the airport corridor. Paternò is the nearest larger town inland, and Catania is close by with the full services of a provincial capital and airport. Motta Sant'Anastasia is known for its Norman tower on a volcanic neck above the plain.
