This is an auction listing ("in asta"), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The ad also marks it as "Renovated", but the description says it is in very poor condition with obsolete/non-working systems and no heating, implying a full restoration around €1,100/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap central Borgia townhouse, but the photos show little real beauty or dream-home appeal. It appears roofed and standing rather than a ruin, yet the description confirms very poor condition with dead systems and a degraded terrace, so it is not realistically move-in ready.
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€46,000 – €69,000
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.
- Townhouse is in very poor condition despite the generic 'renovated' label
- Obsolete/non-functioning electrical and plumbing systems
- No heating system is present
- Terrace waterproofing and finishes are badly degraded
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 cluster is on the Ionian side of the Catanzaro area, between low cultivated hills and the coastal plain of the Gulf of Squillace. The Sila range rises inland to the north, but the main mountain scenery is outside the immediate 15 km radius. The Ionian coast and the beaches of the Gulf of Squillace are about 8 km away. The nearest town of size is Catanzaro, which has the main provincial services, hospital, rail links and the regional administrative role. Squillace is nearby and the area is known for the archaeological park of ancient Skylletion at Roccelletta di Borgia and for olive groves and citrus on the coastal side.
