Price €75,000 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (180 m² → ~€126,000) yields an effective cost ≈ €1,117/m², far above the local median €400/m², so it's overpriced as a full-renovation project. Good location (4 km from the sea) and 22 photos are positives, but the listing does not state the building's condition so renovation scope is unclear.
More on the house and the area
Solid four‑storey palazzina in Carini centre with balconies and a terrace — structurally complete but interiors are at a raw/grezzo stage. Great low‑price investment if you want to create several apartments or a B&B, but not move‑in ready without significant finishing work.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Interior is unfinished (screed floors, raw plaster walls) — full fit‑out needed (kitchen, bathrooms, doors/windows, finishes).
- Balconies/terrace are exposed concrete — have a structural/safety inspection before purchase.
- Central historic‑centre location likely means limited parking and close neighbors; check access and utilities.
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.
