At €37/m², the €11,775 asking price is exceptionally low; even allowing about €200/m² for a habitable home, the effective cost is roughly €237/m² versus €400/m² for comparable local stock. The listing is very sparse and does not state the bathroom count, energy rating, or building history, so verify these points before proceeding.
More on the house and the area
The exterior shows a striking historic Sardinian streetscape with ornate balconies and strong architectural character, while the €11,775 price is exceptionally eye-catching for 319 sqm. However, the actual livability and interior condition are not reliably demonstrated because the gallery appears mismatched and the listing reports no bathrooms.
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€21,000 – €35,000
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.
- The gallery appears internally inconsistent: the modern kitchen and bathrooms look like stock or unrelated images, while the facts list 0 bathrooms.
- No clear living-room, bedroom, courtyard, terrace, or interior view of the actual townhouse is provided.
- At this price, verify whether the property is an auction, partial sale, or requires unlisted works and utility connections.
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 68/100The area lies in the Sulcis-Iglesiente interior, with low hills and cultivated valleys rather than high mountains. The Cixerri river basin is part of the local landscape. Monte Arcosu, one of the largest WWF reserves in Italy, lies nearby and is known for Mediterranean woodland and Sardinian deer. Siliqua is known for the hilltop castle of Acquafredda, which stands above the settlement. Iglesias and Carbonia are the nearest larger towns in the wider area, providing shops, services and rail links.
