See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 (€1,114/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €92,000, or €1,314/m²—far above comparable sub-€100k homes in the area at roughly €450/m². The central location and 1 km distance from the sea help, but the third-floor walk-up, lack of heating, and high asking price weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
A practical, genuinely livable city apartment with two balconies/terraces, abundant light, air conditioning, and open urban views toward Crotone; the sea is only about 1 km away. The interiors are clean and usable but plain, while the kitchen needs completion and the building exterior needs cosmetic renovation, so this is more of a solid refresh project than a dream home.
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 – €8,000
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.
- Kitchen appears unfinished or missing cabinetry and appliances.
- Exterior balconies and facade show significant peeling paint and weathering.
- Third-floor walk-up with no elevator; no heating is available.
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 is on the Ionian coast at Crotone, with long low shoreline and the mouth area of the Esaro river nearby. The Capo Rizzuto Marine Protected Area begins south of the city, with rocky coast, coves and clear water around Le Castella within about 15 km. Crotone is a city with a port, seafront, services and the remains of the Greek Hera Lacinia sanctuary at Capo Colonna just south of the built-up area. The urban cap applies because the cluster is inside a city above 50,000 residents.
