See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (ASTA) — the property is offered at EUR 49,984 for 210 m2 (~EUR 238/m2) versus the regional median ~EUR 255/m2. Auction sales carry legal and procedural risk, so this listing is scored as a trap despite the low price.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid multi-storey building in a narrow street near the sea but with an ordinary exterior and dated, utilitarian rooms. Habitable as shown and excellent value for the square metres, but not a turnkey dream — expect cosmetic work, possible service checks and usual auction/legal due diligence.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Plain town-centre building with no scenic views or garden
- Dated, utilitarian interiors and storefront/magazzino at ground floor — some refurbishment likely
- Auction sale — buyer should verify title/charges and get a lawyer
- No clear photos of bathrooms; check services and heating condition
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Reggio Calabria on the Strait of Messina, with the Aspromonte massif rising immediately inland. The Strait is the defining water feature here, with Sicily and Mount Etna visible across the water in clear conditions. The Aspromonte National Park begins inland above the coastal strip. The nearest substantial mountain access is the Gambarie area in Aspromonte, roughly an hour by road, with local ski facilities in season. Reggio Calabria itself is the main city of the area and has a seafront, ferry links, rail connections, the National Archaeological Museum of Magna Graecia, and the airport serving the strait. The area is known for the strait landscape and for bergamot cultivation in the province.
