Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (€933/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €1,124/m² after allowing €200/m² for its stated good condition, well above the local comparison level of €468/m². The double garage, parking space, elevator and terraces add value, but the inland location and energy class G do not justify such a substantial premium.
More on the house and the area
A bright, genuinely livable 105 m² apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, balconies and attractive rolling-hill views. It is furnished and presented in good condition, with heating, double glazing and substantial garage/parking provision, though it lacks historic character or standout interior design.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs.
- The apartment appears in good, usable condition, but the finishes and furnishings are fairly ordinary rather than distinctive.
- Third-floor apartment living means reliance on the building, elevator and condominium maintenance.
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 66/100The Serre Calabresi are the mountain group around Chiaravalle Centrale, with wooded ridges and narrow valleys within the local area. The Ancinale river valley runs by the town, and the Ionian coast is relatively close but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area falls within the wider zone of the Serre Regional Natural Park. The nearest larger centre is Soverato on the Ionian side, which provides a fuller range of shops, services and rail connections. This part of the Serre is known for chestnut and beech woods, small inland hill towns, and the Certosa di Serra San Bruno area farther north in the same mountain district.
