List price €67,000 for 130 m² plus estimated renovation ~€700/m² (~€91,000) yields an effective cost of ~€158,000 or ~€1,215/m², far above the Sardegna median of €387/m²; listing says it "needs renovation" and has 12 photos, but the total investment makes this overpriced for the region.
More on the house and the area
Solid two‑storey town house with a small private courtyard in central Villamassargia — structurally intact but the interior is dated and in clear need of renovation (broken tiles, wood panelling removal, bathroom refurb). Good value for the size and location close to the coast, but plan for a moderate-to-major refit before moving in.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Needs full interior renovation: floors, finishes and bathroom work required.
- Debris and damaged wood panelling visible; some signs of damp at wall bases.
- Outdoor space is a small courtyard only, not a large garden.
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 67/100The area lies in the Iglesiente, with low hills and mining-country relief rather than a plain. Monte Linas and the Linas massif are within about 15 km to the north-east, and the Marganai forest area begins nearby; this is part of the Monte Linas–Marganai zone of south-west Sardinia. The Cixerri river valley runs through this part of the province. Iglesias is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for cork oak woodland, old mining landscapes, and in Villamassargia itself for the large S'Ortu Mannu olive grove with very old olive trees.
