See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €46,000 for 140 sqm, the asking price is €329/sqm, but with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,029/sqm, far above the Calabria townhouse baseline of €423/sqm. It has been on the market for 1,799 days, which is a major negative and caps confidence despite the independent entrances and balconies.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a functional small-town townhouse rather than a dream property: straightforward street façade, balconies, and no visible special setting. The description suggests a real house with bathrooms and usable rooms, but it needs renovation and the lack of interior photos makes the actual condition and charm uncertain. At €46k for 140 sqm it has value, but the wow factor is limited.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster sits on the lower slopes of the Aspromonte, in the inland side of the Gioia Tauro plain. The Mesima valley and the Tyrrhenian plain are the main local landforms, with olive groves and mixed farmland around the settlements. Aspromonte National Park lies nearby on the mountain side of this area. The nearest larger town is Gioia Tauro on the plain, with port and everyday services; Palmi is another nearby town of size on the Tyrrhenian side. This part of Calabria is known for olive cultivation and for the contrast between the plain and the Aspromonte foothills.
