This is a judicial-auction property at €98,296, and the advertised 145 m² is only an estimate because the auction documents do not state the area. The images are explicitly indicative rather than real, so the property’s actual condition, layout, and value cannot be verified.
More on the house and the area
The staged interiors look polished and fully usable, but they are generic and do not establish the actual condition of this 145 sqm apartment. The building sits in a dense urban setting without a demonstrated sea view, while the claimed private courtyard and terrace could add value if confirmed in the real appraisal.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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 says the images are illustrative and not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase involves legal, occupancy, condition and delivery risks that require reviewing the real appraisal.
- The published 145 sqm area is only an estimate and may be inaccurate.
- Energy class G and the urban courtyard setting offer limited lifestyle appeal despite the sea-town location.
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 69/100The Ionian coast is at the door here, with a long seafront and beach at Caulonia Marina. The hill village of Caulonia stands just inland above the coast, with the lower valley of the Stilaro nearby and the first slopes of the Serre calabresi rising a short distance inland. Roccella Ionica, the nearest larger centre on this stretch, has a marina, rail station and the remains of a hilltop castle. This part of the Locride is known for citrus, olive groves and the contrast between Ionian shore and inland Calabrian hills.
