- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Palermo, RGE 15/1997), so purchase proceeds under auction rules and is scored as a trap. Listed price €32,525 for 160 m² with estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€112,000) gives a total ≈€144,525 (~€903/m²), well above local baseline.
More on the house and the area
Light-filled, modern kitchen and a recently-tiled bathroom plus a balcony with a distant sea view make this feel like a very affordable seaside opportunity. However it’s an auction listing with mixed condition throughout, so expect renovation work and legal/administrative steps before it’s move-in ready.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.

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 58/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the foot of the first inland hills east of Palermo, with the Gulf of Termini Imerese immediately present. The San Leonardo river reaches the sea here. The Madonie range rises inland to the southeast, but the main massif is mostly beyond the 15 km radius. Termini Imerese is the nearest town of size and has a port, rail station, services and a substantial historic centre. Palermo is the nearest major city for higher-order services and transport, but it is farther west and does not affect the score. The area is known for its coastal position between Palermo and Cefalù and for the thermal history of Termini Imerese.
