What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction property, which is a veto red flag regardless of its €193/m² asking price versus the €263/m² baseline. The listed habitable condition supports an estimated renovation cost of about €200/m², but auction risks dominate.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely large, roofed and usable two-storey house with multiple rooms, a terrace/balcony, garage access, heating, and a bathroom visible in the gallery. Its strongest appeal is the very low price for 186 sqm near the sea, but the dated interiors, visible moisture damage and cracking, and ordinary dense urban setting keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal and tribunal-document review.
- Visible cracks, peeling plaster, and ceiling damp/staining suggest repair needs beyond simple decoration.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, and the listing data shows 0 bathrooms despite a bathroom appearing in the photos.
- Dense urban surroundings offer no visible sea view or countryside setting.
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 56/100The cluster is on the Gioia Tauro plain at the foot of the Aspromonte, with the Tyrrhenian coast immediately beside it and views across the Strait area toward Sicily on clear days. The Petrace river reaches the sea just north of town. Parco Nazionale dell’Aspromonte lies inland, with the first mountain roads and forested slopes beginning within the short inland drive, though the main protected high ground is farther up. Gioia Tauro is a working port town and the largest nearby centre, with rail links, services and one of the main container ports in Italy. The wider plain is known for citrus groves and olive cultivation.
