In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 (€362/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €45,000 or €563/m² after modest habitable-home costs, well above the local €255/m² reference. The independent house has a convenient location near services and the hospital, but the 25 m² ground-floor space is described as a warehouse rather than living area.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, finished 80 m² house with tiled floors, functioning-looking windows, heating, a bathroom, kitchen area, and a practical attic, so it appears broadly habitable rather than a ruin. However, the plain interiors and very weathered exterior offer little visual charm, and there is no proven view, garden, or distinctive historic character; its main appeal is the exceptionally low price.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 exterior is heavily weathered and would benefit from facade, drainage, and general cosmetic work.
- The home is tightly built into a dense urban street with no visible garden or meaningful outdoor space.
- The attic is finished and usable but has a low sloping ceiling and may be better suited to storage or occasional use.
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Catanzaro, on the hills above the Gulf of Squillace on the Ionian side of Calabria. The area is cut by deep ravines and short valleys that run down toward the coast. The Sila range is farther inland and forms the mountain backdrop for the province, but it is not within the immediate 15 km landscape here. Catanzaro is the provincial capital and has the full set of city services, administrative offices, shops, schools and hospitals. The historic core stands on a ridge, and the city is known for its position between hilltop districts and the coastal quarter of Catanzaro Lido. The coast at Catanzaro Lido is within the local area, with urban beaches on the Gulf of Squillace.
