At €58,003 (€379/m²), the 153 m² apartment looks inexpensive versus comparable Calabria listings, but it is explicitly being sold at judicial auction. The listing also says the five images are only indicative and not the real property photos, while key details such as the building year are not provided.
More on the house and the area
The reported 153 sqm apartment is large and accompanied by substantial storage, attic, and urban-area space at a very low apparent price. However, the images are generic rather than property-specific, and they show no convincing Italian character, view, garden, or distinctive setting; the home’s real livability remains unverified.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 explicitly says the photos are illustrative and not the actual property, so the attractive interiors cannot be relied upon.
- Court auction purchase with possible legal, occupancy, condition, and handover complications.
- Actual condition and bathroom/kitchen status need verification; the facts conflict somewhat with the description.
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 57/100The cluster is in the Savuto valley on the inland side of the Catena Costiera, with wooded hills and lower mountain slopes within the local landscape. The Savuto river valley is the main named feature in this part of the province. The Sila plateau lies farther east beyond the immediate 15 km radius and is part of wider regional access rather than the resident landscape here. Cosenza is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and hospitals. This area is known for inland Calabrian hill country, chestnut and mixed woodland, and small historic centres along the old route between Cosenza and the Tyrrhenian side.
