What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation €16,000 (80 m2 × €200/m2) gives an effective total of €58,000 — ~€725/m2, well above the local median of €244/m2. The house is habitable, well photographed and 3 km from the sea, but the large premium vs our regional baseline makes this a weak value.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
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 55/100This cluster is in the broad coastal plain around Corigliano-Rossano on the Ionian side of Calabria, with the Sila mountains rising inland within about 15 km. The Ionian coast is nearby, with long beach stretches and the mouth area of the Crati not far to the north. Part of the Sila Greca zone lies inland here, on the edge of the Sila uplands. Corigliano, the historic centre within the municipality, has a large castle above the plain. Rossano has a substantial old centre and the Codex Purpureus Rossanensis, on UNESCO's Memory of the World register. The area is known for citrus and olive cultivation on the Sibari plain.
