What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 200 sqm, the ask is just €175/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €419/sqm in Sardegna townhouses, which is a strong entry price. But the description only says 'grande potenziale' and 'possibilità di personalizzazione' with no proof of recent works, so I price it as needing renovation at about €700/sqm; that keeps it a good project rather than a diamond.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, sizable townhouse with a private courtyard and some greenery, so it has practical potential rather than romance. The house is structurally a real home with stairs, floors, kitchen and bathroom in place, but widespread damp, tired finishes and an unfinished upper section make it a substantial refresh project. There is usability here, but not much proven beauty or dream-home atmosphere in the photos.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Visible damp and peeling plaster in multiple rooms
- Upper floor/terrace area appears unfinished
- Interiors are basic and need significant refurbishment
- Only one bathroom shown for a large 200 sqm house
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 cluster is on the Marghine plateau, with the Montiferru and Marghine uplands shaping the landscape around Bolotana. The Tirso river basin lies nearby, and the area is a mix of basaltic hills, pasture and oak woodland. The Foresta di Badde Salighes is at Bolotana, a historic woodland estate with conifers and broadleaf forest. The nearest larger centre is Macomer, which has rail connections, supermarkets and the main services for this part of central-western Sardinia. The area is known for pastoral Sardinia, cork oak and upland grazing country.
