This is a judicial auction (min offer €9,450) and the description says the building is totally uninhabitable with roof and floors heavily damaged, yet the listing claims 'Renovated' (contradiction). Estimated rebuild €1,100/m² → effective price ≈ €413,140 (≈€1,125/m²) versus local median €380/m², so this is not a viable bargain.
More on the house and the area
Large, period town palazzo with original decorative tiles, old shutters and small balconies — a building with real historic character but clearly in poor structural condition. Priced as a deep bargain, it’s a major renovation project (roof/solai and all systems) rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€145,000 – €215,000
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.
- Advertised as totally uninhabitable: roof and internal floors (solai) reported heavily damaged
- Large-scale structural and systems renovation required (electrical/plumbing/heating)
- Some rooms look in better cosmetic condition but the property is essentially a restoration project, not move-in ready
- Narrow, steep access and exposed balconies in poor condition
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 61/100The cluster sits in the inland hills west of Palermo in the valley of the Belice Destro, with cultivated slopes and low ridges rather than high mountains. Monte Jato rises immediately above the area, and the archaeological site of Jato stands on the mountain with remains of the ancient town and its theatre. The nearest large city is Palermo, which provides the full range of services, rail links and airport access. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and cereal farming.
