This is explicitly an auction listing ("in asta"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low ask. At €27,840 for 138 sqm (€202/sqm), even with a habitable estimate of about €200/sqm renovation, the auction status makes it a trap.
More on the house and the area
This seems to be a real, usable house rather than a shell: 138 sqm, independent, finished, with heating, air conditioning, kitchen/living area and a covered terrace. But the gallery provides no true interior or exterior photos, so there is almost no proven visual wow, view or historic charm to support a higher score. The appeal here is mainly practicality and very low price, not confirmed beauty.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- No actual property photos are shown, so beauty/view and character cannot be verified.
- Auction listing: real condition and occupancy/legal status should be checked in the perizia.
- Covered terrace is described more as utility/storage-drying space than a scenic outdoor living terrace.
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 52/100The cluster sits in the Gioia Tauro plain, with Aspromonte rising inland to the east and northeast. The nearest coast is the Tyrrhenian shore around Gioia Tauro and Palmi. The Aspromonte National Park begins inland on the mountain side of the plain. Taurianova is one of the larger centres of this part of the plain, with everyday services and road links toward Gioia Tauro, Palmi and the inland valleys. The wider area is known for olive groves and citrus cultivation, and for the port-industrial zone around Gioia Tauro on the coast.
