At €55,000 plus substantial renovation estimated at about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,388/m² for an 80 m² apartment—more than three times the €450/m² local benchmark. The listing confirms renovation work is needed, with no clear evidence of a discount or special location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical 80 sqm apartment with two bedrooms, existing furnishings, a bathroom, balcony access, and a cellar, but it offers little visual charm or sense of place. The kitchen is stripped out and several ceilings show significant peeling or possible damp, so it is not close to move-in ready despite being a complete, roofed home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, especially the kitchen and damaged ceilings/walls.
- Visible peeling and possible moisture issues require investigation.
- The apartment has no evident view, outdoor space, or distinctive architectural character.
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.
