Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed as a judicial auction (asta): price €51,500 for 258 m² — auction sales carry legal and procedural risk. With an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective cost is ≈€103,100 (≈€400/m²) versus the regional median €434/m², but the auction status makes this listing a trap.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, modern (1990) terraced house in good, habitable condition with functioning systems, private courtyard/garden and parking — a realistic move-in or light-refresh buy. Not a historic or scenic showstopper, but a solid, well-priced family home offered at auction with a clear need for some exterior upkeep.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Sale by judicial auction / pre-asta procedure — extra steps to buy
- Some external maintenance needed (balconies, cornices) and localized damp/condensation spots inside
- Property is two independent units sharing the courtyard — check layout/use if you want a single-family setup
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 49/100The area lies in the Crati valley with low hills and cultivated slopes around the town. The Crati river runs through this part of the province. The nearest town of size is Cosenza, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. The Tyrrhenian coast around Paola and the Sila mountains are both outside the immediate 15 km landscape and do not define the surroundings here. This part of Calabria is known mainly for mixed agriculture and for being in the orbit of the Cosenza urban area.
