Asking €25,000 for 65 m² but described as "completely da ristrutturare"; estimated renovation €1,100/m² adds ~€71,500, so effective price ≈ €96,500 (~€1,485/m²), about 3.2× the local median of €467/m². Listing has only 2 photos and several technical fields are missing.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful traditional Sicilian stone façade and wooden portal in the historic centre, only a few kilometres from the sea — very photogenic and full of character. However the property is a complete renovation project, so it’s a bargain for someone willing to restore rather than an immediately livable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €38,000
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.
- Advertised as "completely da ristrutturare" — full renovation required, not move‑in ready
- No private outdoor space and only ~65 m² across two levels
- Check roof, damp and utilities (plumbing/electrical) before purchase
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 Gulf of Carini on the Tyrrhenian coast, with the Monti di Palermo rising immediately inland. Carini has a large castle and a substantial historic centre. Palermo is the nearest large city and has the full range of services, port, airport and major cultural monuments. The coast here is a built-up stretch west of Palermo rather than a protected shore, and the area is known mainly for its position between the city and Falcone Borsellino airport.
