Asking €28,000 with estimated renovation €200/m² → effective price ≈ €53,800 (≈€417/m²) vs regional median €434/m², so slightly below market; habitable condition, terrace and garage make it a solid, low-cost renovation. The description lists an energy class (G) but the energy field is missing in the facts.
More on the house and the area
Solid, spacious two-level town house with a liveable interior and a large terrace — a real home rather than a ruin. Interiors are dated but habitable, so this is a strong bargain for someone willing to refresh finishes and modernize systems.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Dated 1960s/70s finishes — cosmetic updating needed.
- Energy class G / heating likely minimal — check systems before purchase.
- Inspect terrace/roof and bathrooms for maintenance before move-in.
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 54/100The cluster sits on the Ionian side of the Sila foothills, with low hills dropping toward the Gulf of Squillace. The Simeri river valley is the main local landform in this part of the province. The nearest town of size is Catanzaro, which has the main services and administrative functions for the area, and the built-up coast around Sellia Marina provides everyday beach access. This stretch of Calabria is known for olive groves and mixed inland-and-coastal settlement rather than for a single protected or monumental landscape within the immediate area.
