See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale Palermo), which is a legal/process risk for buyers. With an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is about €127,212 (€74,812 + €52,400), ~€486/m²—well above the regional baseline of €380/m².
More on the house and the area
The photos show high-end, freshly renovated interiors and an attractive period exterior — it reads like a stylish, move-in villa. However the listing is an auction and the agent notes the images are only indicative, so confirm the real condition, finishes and land before proceeding.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Photos are indicative and may not represent the actual property.
- Property is an auction (Tribunale) — legal/bureaucratic steps and risks apply.
- Verify exact plot/sea proximity, utilities and real interior condition before bidding.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Gulf of Castellammare coast, with low limestone headlands and coves on the Tyrrhenian. The Capo Rama oriented nature reserve lies by Terrasini, protecting a stretch of coastal cliff and Mediterranean scrub. The coast here is known for rocky inlets and small beaches, and the historic tuna-fishing site of Scopello is farther west on the same gulf. Palermo is the nearest large city and has the full range of city services, port, airport area and major rail connections. This stretch of coast is known for fishing and summer seaside tourism.
