As listed the price is €75,000 (≈€375/m²) which looks attractive, but estimated renovation at €700/m² raises the total to about €215,000 (≈€1,075/m²), well above typical local levels. The central location and split/investment potential are positives, but the heavy renovation burden makes this a poor value compared with regional norms.
More on the house and the area
A large, centrally located multi-level townhouse with balconies and good layout potential, but the photos show neglected, damp-prone interiors and dated finishes. This is a solid renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home — appealing for investors or buyers who want to rebuild a roomy city residence.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €70,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs full renovation — plaster peeling, damp at skirtings and likely works to bathrooms/kitchen
- Street-facing central location: traffic noise and limited privacy on ground-floor rooms
- No private garden or scenic views visible from the photos
- Interior is habitable shell with old finishes and some debris — budget for new floors, systems and windows
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 42/100This is the plain of Sant’Eufemia at the head of the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia, with low coastal farmland and the first slopes of the Calabrian inland rising behind it. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby. The nearest substantial town is Lamezia Terme itself, which is a service city with the main airport of Calabria, major rail links, hospitals and retail areas. The urban cap applies because the cluster is inside the built-up area of a city above 50,000 residents.
