See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (“Asta”) so purchase carries auction-specific legal risks. At €54,508 for 186 m² (€293/m²) and estimated €200/m² renovation the effective cost ≈ €91,700 (≈€493/m²), well above the regional baseline €255/m².
More on the house and the area
The upstairs apartment photos show beautiful, characterful interiors — high ceilings, mouldings, exposed beams and warm kitchens — and the stated 'habitable' condition means it could be lived in with light updating. The price is a clear bargain, but the building exterior and small courtyards are unremarkable and this is an auction sale, so verify title, utilities and that the photos match the actual unit before bidding.
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.
- Listing is an auction (procedural/legal checks and possible encumbrances).
- Exterior and setting are ordinary — no sea/mountain views or private garden shown.
- Many interior photos appear highly styled/illustrative; confirm they are of this unit and check actual condition.
- Floorplan/metadata show limited outdoor space and the ad lists 0 bathrooms (verify services).
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 western edge of the Sila foothills rises immediately east of Marano Marchesato, with the lower Crati valley opening nearby and the Tyrrhenian coast around Paola and San Lucido roughly 10–15 km to the west. The urban area of Cosenza and Rende lies just to the east and has the main services, rail connections and the University of Calabria. The Sila National Park is farther inland and outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of Calabria is known for the transition from hill country to the coastal plain and for its proximity to the Cosenza urban area rather than for a single protected or iconic landscape feature at the door.
