Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction in Africo at €10,280 (≈€69/m²), a large nominal discount to the local median of €255/m², but auction status creates legal/transfer risk so I flag it as a trap. The description mentions two bathrooms while the facts list 0 baths (contradictory data); estimate renovation ~€200/m².

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Large, practical two‑storey town house (148 m²) a short distance from the sea with updated impianti (2006), autonomous heating and AC — essentially habitable. It’s a real bargain at ~€10k but the exterior/roof needs attention and the property has a poor energy rating; expect some refurbishment and auction-related paperwork.

Updating, not renovation
€30,000 – €42,000

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€10,000 – €16,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Facciate e copertura indicate in condizioni sufficienti/scarse — possibile lavoro al tetto/esterni.
  • Classe energetica G (spese di riscaldamento/efficientamento da considerare).
  • Vendita all'asta: procedure e accesso remoto richiedono attenzione legale/amministrativa.
  • Nessun box/pertinenza e spazio esterno limitato (solo balcone e terrazzino).

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 78/100

The Aspromonte massif rises immediately inland, and this stretch of coast sits at the south-eastern edge of Parco Nazionale dell'Aspromonte. The Ionian Sea is on the doorstep, and the Amendolea valley cuts down from the mountains to the coast here. The nearest sizeable town is Locri, which has everyday services and rail connections along the Ionian coast. The area is known for the Greek-Calabrian speaking villages of the inner Aspromonte and for bergamot and jasmine cultivation on parts of the Reggio Calabria Ionian coast.
