This is a judicial auction offering only a 1/3 ownership share, not a standard sale of a fully usable home. The €5,813 price is based on 169 m², while the description states 100 m² and warns that the images are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show a bright, renovated apartment, but the listing explicitly states that they are not photographs of the actual property, so its beauty cannot be credited. The underlying description suggests a habitable 100 m² apartment with three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, balcony/terrace, and attic, but the 1/3 ownership share makes this a highly compromised home purchase rather than a straightforward bargain.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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 is for only a 1/3 ownership share, not the whole apartment.
- The photos are explicitly illustrative and do not show the actual property.
- Court auction purchase involves legal, occupancy, and due-diligence risks; verify the perizia before bidding.
- The advertised price is extremely low, but it does not represent full ownership.
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 68/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria with the coastal ridge of the Catena Costiera immediately inland and the sea at Belvedere Marittimo close by. The Riviera dei Cedri runs along this stretch of coast and the area is known for cedar cultivation. Belvedere Marittimo has a historic upper town and a seafront lower town with everyday services; Scalea is the nearest larger coastal centre on this section of shore, and Paola farther south is the main rail stop for wider connections. The western edge of Parco Nazionale del Pollino is inland beyond the immediate coastal strip, but it lies outside the 15 km landscape around the cluster.
