What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €905/m², the asking price is nearly double the €458/m² local benchmark; allowing about €200/m² for an apparently habitable but undocumented condition brings the effective cost to roughly €1,105/m². The apartment has 105 m², parking, a cellar, and is only 2 km from the sea, but the listing does not state its condition, year of construction, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious, bright, genuinely livable family apartment with a working kitchen, bathroom, three bedrooms, balcony access, cellar, and two parking spaces. However, the setting and architecture are ordinary, and the dated finishes and heavily traditional furnishings offer little dream-home or Italian character appeal.
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.
- Dated interiors and furnishings would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Urban apartment block with no notable view, garden, or distinctive historic character.
- Only one bathroom is shown, despite the description mentioning potential for a second.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Reggio Calabria on the Strait of Messina, with the Aspromonte massif rising inland within a short distance. The coast here is the urban waterfront rather than a natural beach landscape. Aspromonte National Park begins inland and defines the immediate hinterland of the city. Reggio Calabria is the nearest city and has full urban services, a ferry connection across the strait, and the National Archaeological Museum of Magna Graecia. The area is known for views across the strait to Sicily and for bergamot cultivation in the wider Reggio area.
