This is a judicial auction listing in Messina (auction flag) which creates legal/transactional complexity. Price €23,625 for 52 m²; with an estimated €200/m² renovation (€10,400) the effective price ≈ €34,025 (≈€654/m²), above the regional median €435/m².
More on the house and the area
Small ground‑floor Messina townhouse at a very low price — livable but tired. Bare, cramped rooms and a basic bathroom mean it’s a cheap pied‑à‑terre or renovation project rather than a ready‑to‑dream 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€3,000 – €6,000
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.
- Worn, dated interiors with peeling plaster and basic bathroom — needs cosmetic renovation
- Very small (≈52 m²) with a compact, dark layout
- Property sold at auction — expect legal/administrative steps and checks
- Listing photos may not precisely match the exact unit
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.
