See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction and the property is explicitly non-habitable, in complete degradation, with unusable systems and deteriorated roof, windows, and finishes. Although the €12,770 opening price is low, estimated renovation costs of about €88,000 bring the effective cost near €101,000, or roughly €1,260/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap detached 80 m² house with a small private garden and a pleasant mountain backdrop, giving it some location and transformation appeal. However, the photos and description show a severely deteriorated, non-habitable shell with ruined finishes, defective utilities, damaged fixtures, and no usable bathroom or kitchen, so it is a major renovation project rather than a home you could realistically live in soon.
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€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Currently uninhabitable and described as completely degraded.
- Roof appears present, but parts of the structure and floors use makeshift or deteriorated materials.
- Bathroom, kitchen, windows, finishes, and all existing systems require substantial renovation.
- Auction purchase and future connection, permit, and renovation costs need careful verification.
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 lies on the lower slopes west of Cosenza, in the valley system that opens toward the Crati plain, with the Coastal Range rising a short distance to the west. The Savuto valley and the first Tyrrhenian-facing mountains are within the local hinterland, and the Sila massif is visible farther east beyond Cosenza but outside the immediate landscape. Cosenza is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a historic centre, and the urban area shared with Rende. The area is known mainly as the inland edge between the Cosenza urban basin and the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria, with mixed hillside settlement and access routes across the province.
