This is a judicial auction (legal/transfer risks) and the text contradicts the listed condition: description says 'allo stato rustico' and 'in corso di ristrutturazione' despite 'Renovated'. At €23,020 plus an estimated €700/m² overhaul (196 m² → effective ≈ €160,220 ≈ €817/m²) it's well above the regional baseline of €255/m².
More on the house and the area
A solid, traditional stone-built house in the historic centre with generous rooms and partly finished marble/grès floors — great potential and a very low auction price. It’s not move-in ready: expect to complete finishes, install services and tidy the basements to make it a comfortable home.
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€39,000 – €69,000
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.
- Property is 'allo stato rustico' / in course of renovation — many internal finishes (ceilings, doors, fixtures) incomplete.
- Predispositions for electric, water and HVAC exist but systems are not currently functioning.
- Lower levels are rough with low headroom and will need work; no heating and no garage included.
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 58/100The cluster sits in the Gioia Tauro plain at the foot of the Aspromonte massif. The Metramo valley cuts into the hills around Polistena, and the lower slopes above the plain are planted with olives and citrus. The Aspromonte National Park begins farther inland on the mountain side, with higher forest and ridge landscapes beyond the immediate plain. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby but not within the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest larger centre is Gioia Tauro on the plain, with port and rail services; Palmi is another nearby town with everyday services. This area is known for olive groves and citrus cultivation on the plain below Aspromonte.
