Priced at 141 EUR/m2 vs town baseline of 396 EUR/m2, roughly 64% below median — a strong discount. 270 sqm on two floors with garden and terrace, fresh listing (5 days). Needs full renovation, so budget ~500 EUR/m2 (~135k) to reach habitable/rentable standard. Red flags: description mentions 4 baths but facts list 3, and '18 beds' with only 5 rooms is implausible/likely a data artifact. Missing building_year and energy_class limit assessment of structural and efficiency risk. Overall a genuinely cheap renovation project with B&B potential, but verify the room/bath discrepancies and structural condition on-site.
More on the house and the area
No visual assessment possible \u2014 the single photo is just the Rexer placeholder logo, showing none of the property. On facts alone: a 270 sqm two-story detached townhouse in Ales, inland Sardinia, at \u20ac38,000 (\u20ac141/m\u00b2) is a notable bargain with B&B potential, garden, and terrace. But condition is 'needs renovation' and there is nothing to convey visual wow. Bargain effect is the only real factor.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
