This is a judicial auction ("in asta"), which is an automatic veto under the rules. The house is also described as abandoned and degraded, implying roughly €1,100/m² renovation on top of the €7,430 price.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, centrally located village house with a tiny terrace, but the photos show little real beauty or atmosphere. It is a roofed, full-volume house rather than a ruin, yet interiors feel neglected, cramped and functionally obsolete, so it is not realistically a dream-home without significant work. The main wow here is the ultra-low price, not the house itself.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€43,000 – €64,000
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.
- Needs major renovation; the listing itself describes abandonment and degradation.
- Bathroom and kitchen are very basic and outdated, with low comfort and likely full replacement needed.
- Access appears difficult by car on a narrow lane.
- Utilities/electrical and plumbing systems are old and need bringing up to standard.
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 58/100The area sits in the inland hills between the Ionian side of the Catanzaro province and the Serre Calabresi. The Corace valley lies nearby, with mixed agricultural land, olive groves and wooded slopes typical of this part of central Calabria. Toward the west and south-west, the Serre uplands are the main mountain landscape within reach, with broader forests and higher relief becoming clearer around places such as Serra San Bruno. Catanzaro is the nearest city of size, with full services, hospitals, secondary schools and rail connections in its wider urban area. This part of Calabria is known for hill villages, olive oil and the transition from inland uplands to the two coasts of the Isthmus of Catanzaro.
