This is a judicial auction and the CTU notes substantial, partly non‑sanable building irregularities, creating legal/regularisation risk. At €13,845 plus ~€700/m² renovation (~€88,745 total) the effective price is ~€829/m², well above the regional baseline of €380/m², so not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Photos show pleasant, modern kitchen and bathroom finishes, but the property is described as largely unfinished and divided into two units. This is a clear renovation/auction project with a very low price and land, not an immediately livable dream home.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property is reported largely unfinished (“al grezzo”) so many finishes and systems may be missing
- Description notes substantial building difformities, some possibly not sanable — legal/regulatory risk
- Listing warns images are indicative/stock and may not reflect the actual state
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 52/100The cluster sits in the inland hills east of Palermo, in the valley system of the Eleuterio river. Monte Jato and the first relief of the Sicani-facing interior are within the wider local horizon rather than high mountains. The nearest large city is Palermo, which provides the full set of services, rail links, port and airport access. This part of the province is known for mixed agricultural hills with olive groves and arable land, and for small inland centres linked to Palermo by the road corridor toward Agrigento.
