See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale RGE) — sale process and risks make it unsuitable for a straightforward purchase. Listed price €17,212 plus estimated renovation ~€700/m² (≈€207,900) yields an effective €≈225,100 total or ≈€758/m², and the ad warns the photos are only indicative, so treat this as an auction-only opportunity (high process risk).
More on the house and the area
Bright, modern bathrooms and kitchen photos suggest how attractive a renovated apartment here could be, and the yellow, patchy façade gives the building clear historic character. However the exterior condition and the auction/‘needs renovation’ status mean you should expect building-wide repair work and legal/auction costs before the place is a fully 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€59,000 – €104,000
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.

- Listing is an auction lot / legal procedure likely required
- Exterior façade shows heavy deterioration and the building appears to need works
- Some photos look staged/CGI or are clearly indicative and may not be exact to this unit
- Interiors show unfinished details (shower tray, door-frames) so not fully move-in ready
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 66/100The area sits in the inland hills of western Sicily, with cultivated valleys, wheat fields, olive groves and vineyards around the upper Belice basin. Monte Genuardo and the Monte Genuardo e Santa Maria del Bosco nature reserve are within this area, with limestone ridges and wooded slopes. The Belice valley landscape is the main geographic frame here. The nearest larger town is Sciacca on the coast and, inland, Corleone is the other main reference for services. The area is known for agriculture, especially vineyards and olive growing, and for the Arbëreshë community of Contessa Entellina with its Italo-Albanian heritage.
