Why this price is what it is

This €30,240, 197 m² property is explicitly offered through a judicial auction, which is a disqualifying risk for this catalog. The listed renovation need would add roughly €700/m², before auction-specific costs and uncertainties.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The displayed interiors and apartment exterior look polished, but they are stock or illustrative images and cannot prove anything about this townhouse. The actual property is a 197 sqm five-room home needing renovation, with its real condition, bathrooms, finishes, and views unverified.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€69,000 – €99,000

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.

Comfortable
€118,000 – €177,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Full€1,200–1,500/m²
€236,000 – €296,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€39,000 – €69,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The listing explicitly says the photos are indicative and not of the actual property.
  • Needs renovation, with no bathroom count recorded and energy class G.
  • Auction purchase adds legal, timing, and due-diligence risk.

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 68/100

The cluster is in the eastern Calabrian hill country between the Sila foothills and the Ionian side. The Sila plateau rises inland to the west and northwest, but the main immediate feature here is the valley system cut by the Alli and Crocchio rivers. The Valli Cupe area lies by Sersale, with narrow gorges, waterfalls and wooded ravines protected as a regional reserve. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the nearest larger urban centre at Catanzaro, which has the province’s main services and rail links on the coast and the regional capital uphill. This part of Calabria is known for chestnut and olive landscapes in the inland hills and for the canyon scenery around Sersale.
