See what needs doing and what each job costs
Adding a modest habitable-refurbishment allowance (≈€200/m² → ~€33k) gives an effective price of ~€794/m² (€131k total) versus the local median of €380/m², so this is significantly above market; positives: 45 m² terrace and only 3 km from the sea, but the ad also notes the ground floor is “da ristrutturare,” a small contradiction with the listed condition.
More on the house and the area
A large, practical 3‑storey town home with a usable 45 m² roof terrace close to services and the sea (3 km). The structure is habitable and roomy but the interiors are dated and will need cosmetic work to become a bright, modern home — a good value for the size and location.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interior is dated and needs cosmetic renovation (repainting, kitchen and some bathrooms work).
- Street‑facing balconies give limited views and privacy in a narrow town road.
- Some rooms show old wallpaper/stains — expect general updating and possible minor repairs, and terrace needs maintenance.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Bagheria on the Tyrrhenian side east of Palermo, so the lived setting is a dense coastal town rather than open countryside. The Tyrrhenian coast is a few kilometres away at the Bagheria-Aspra shoreline, with short stretches of rocky coast and small coves around Capo Zafferano. Monte Catalfano rises immediately above the coast and is protected as the Monte Catalfano nature reserve. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links and cultural sites.
