Although priced at €132/m² (€38,250 total), the listing is an auction property consisting of unfinished units with no floors, partitions, windows, plastering, or systems. The description says the intended use is commercial or laboratory rather than residential, making it unsuitable as a legal dwelling without major verification and conversion work.
More on the house and the area
The gallery shows attractive, fully furnished interiors, but the listing explicitly warns that these images may not depict the property. The actual asset is a 290 sqm raw concrete shell requiring extensive completion and is not currently a usable home, so it has essentially no liveability wow.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€115,000 – €170,000
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 describes two unfinished units, not a habitable apartment: no floors, partitions, windows, finishes, or electrical, heating, and plumbing systems.
- The intended use appears to be commercial or laboratory space rather than a home.
- The published photos are explicitly stated to be demonstrative and may not correspond to the property.
- Auction purchase and legal/document checks are essential before relying on the advertised price or condition.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Cosenza, so the resident landscape is an inland city at the meeting of the Crati and Busento valleys rather than open countryside. The Sila massif rises to the east within this radius, with forested foothills and mountain relief visible from the city side. Rende is the nearest town of size in the same urban area, and the combined settlement has the university, hospitals, major retail and the main provincial services. The old centre of Cosenza sits on the hill above the modern city and is known for its historic core and the confluence of the Busento and Crati.
