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
At €65,000 (€310/m²), the 210 m² habitable apartment is slightly above the local comparison level after an estimated €42,000 renovation allowance, reaching about €510/m² versus €485/m². Heating and a garage are positives, but the very brief listing does not state the room or bathroom layout.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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 38/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the Gulf of Gioia Tauro, with the plain backed at short distance by the Aspromonte massif. The Petrace river reaches the sea here. Aspromonte National Park begins inland on the mountain side of the plain. The nearest larger centre is Reggio Calabria, with full city services, port and rail links. This stretch of Calabria is known for the port and container terminal of Gioia Tauro and for citrus and olive cultivation on the plain.
