€60,000 for 150 m² (listing 400€/m²) with an estimated €50/m² finishing (effective €67,500 → 450€/m²) is modestly above the regional median of 384€/m². The house is mostly renovated and in town but has been on the market 510 days, so the price appears to have been struggling to sell.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable three-storey town house with large rooms and intact structure; interiors are plain and the bathrooms/kitchen are dated. Good value for size in a historic centre, but not a scenic or character-filled ‘dream’ property without some modernisation.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €50/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 – €4,000
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.
- Dated bathrooms and kitchen — will need updating or replacement
- No private garden or notable views visible in the photos
- Central/narrow-street location likely means limited outdoor space and parking
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 57/100The area sits on the basaltic and granitic uplands of central Sardinia, with the higher mass of the Gennargentu range farther to the east and visible only at greater distance. The Tirso river system runs through this part of the island, and the Lake Omodeo reservoir lies within this wider inland zone. Within about 15 km the main place of size is Nuoro, which has the province’s main services, shops and hospital. This part of Barbagia and the Marghine is known for pastoral landscapes, cork oak and holm oak countryside, and for Sardinian traditions linked to herding and village festivals.
