This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Palermo), so the sale process has auction constraints; 156 m² townhouse in Carini 1 km from the sea offered at €76,710. The listing calls the property 'Habitable' (I estimate ~€200/m² for works) and also states the images are only indicative, which is contradictory to the photos shown.
More on the house and the area
A spacious 156 m² townhouse with a handsome, classic façade and several rooms that look freshly renovated (modern bathroom, new flooring and lighting). The price is very attractive for the size and location, but the ad uses stock/indicative images and the auction/legal details and actual room count/condition must be confirmed before you commit.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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 in the ad may be indicative/stock — request real photos and floorplans before bidding.
- This is an auction property — verify legal status, extra costs and procedure.
- Listing data shows 0 baths and missing energy/class info — confirm number of bathrooms and utilities.
- No clear photos of outdoor areas or sea view despite being 1 km from the coast.
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 50/100Monte Pecoraro and the low mountains west of Palermo rise inland from Carini. The Tyrrhenian coast is close, with the Gulf of Carini and the long beach stretch around Carini and Villagrazia di Carini. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links, port and airport area nearby. Carini is known for its Norman castle on the hill above the modern spread. This part of the coast is a built-up belt between Palermo and the airport, with housing, main roads and commercial strips mixed with the older town.
