See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing is a judicial auction (ASTA), which carries legal risks and requires tribunal paperwork so we treat it as a veto. The asking price €48,760 for 268 m² (~€182/m²) and a 'habitable' condition would imply around €200/m² in renovation if needed, but the auction status is the decisive negative.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid two‑storey villa with garage, paved courtyard and tidy, move‑in interiors — a genuinely usable family home. It’s an economical buy for the square metre (clear bargain), but the exterior and boundary walls are plain and will need cosmetic work, and you must verify the auction paperwork and the apparent lack of a bathroom before proceeding.
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€18,000 – €30,000
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 sold at auction — verify tribunal documentation and any liens before bidding
- Listing shows 0 bathrooms on the facts sheet (confirm usable sanitary facilities)
- Exterior walls/garage and boundary walls need cosmetic attention; no scenic/sea view (urban location)
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 61/100The cluster sits on the lower slopes of the Aspromonte, in the inland side of the Gioia Tauro plain. The Mesima valley and the Tyrrhenian plain are the main local landforms, with olive groves and mixed farmland around the settlements. Aspromonte National Park lies nearby on the mountain side of this area. The nearest larger town is Gioia Tauro on the plain, with port and everyday services; Palmi is another nearby town of size on the Tyrrhenian side. This part of Calabria is known for olive cultivation and for the contrast between the plain and the Aspromonte foothills.
