What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €27/m², the asking price looks exceptionally low, but renovating 1,292 m² at roughly €700/m² implies an effective cost near €727/m²—above the local comparison level of €485/m². The unusually large apartment, zero listed bedrooms or bathrooms, and very vague description create substantial uncertainty that should be resolved before considering it.
More on the house and the area
The polished interiors are attractive in the renders, but they are explicitly indicative and not photographs of the actual property. The real offer is a large building requiring renovation, with no verified livable apartment, garden, or meaningful view shown.
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€256,000 – €454,000
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.

- The listing is for an entire four-storey building containing eight apartments, not a ready single home.
- It is explicitly described as needing renovation and has no confirmed bedrooms or bathrooms.
- The advertised images are illustrative renders and do not show the real property.
- This is a court-auction sale, so legal, occupancy, and renovation checks are essential.
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.
