Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This €20,736 property is explicitly being sold through a judicial auction, so it is not a straightforward home purchase despite the very low €230/m² price. The listing does not state the condition, provides no real property photos, and says the images are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
The staged images suggest a sleek, attractive 90 m² interior, but they cannot be relied on as evidence of this apartment’s real condition. The only apparent building context looks severely deteriorated, and the auction listing provides too little reliable information to support a genuine live-in-home wow 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.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- The listing explicitly states that the images are indicative and are not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase with condition, legal status, utilities, and access requiring verification.
- The real building shown appears severely weathered, while the apartment’s actual interior is unknown.
- The listing records zero bathrooms despite the staged bathroom image.
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 61/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast plain at the foot of the Calabrian hills, with the Sila plateau inland to the northwest but outside the immediate landscape. The Ionian Sea is at the doorstep, on the gulf coast between Catanzaro Lido and Sellia Marina. The nearest town of size is Catanzaro, which has the main range of services, a historic upper town and the coastal district of Lido. This stretch is known for long beach lines, citrus and olive cultivation on the plain, and low hills rising quickly behind the coast.
