In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (ASTA) which carries legal risks; price €57,376 (≈€380/m2) vs regional baseline €255/m2. The ad states the house is 'Habitable' so I estimate €200/m2 in renovation costs, but auction status makes this a risky purchase.
More on the house and the area
Well-finished, move-in-ready townhouse/villa with bright modern interiors, garage, balconies and a small private courtyard with pool — a real, liveable home. The price and coastal location make it a strong value, but remember it’s an auction property and the outdoor space and street setting are modest.
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 – €17,000
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 sold at auction — verify title, costs and legal risks before bidding
- Outdoor space is small (inflatable pool) rather than a large private garden
- Located on a suburban street with limited panoramic views
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 68/100The area lies on the southern slopes of the Aspromonte massif above the Ionian side of the Reggio Calabria province. The Amendolea valley is the main landscape feature here, with steep dry hills, ravines and small settlements spread along the inland roads. Part of the Aspromonte National Park is within this inland zone. The nearest larger city is Reggio Calabria, which provides full services, port links and rail connections. This part of Calabria is known for Greek-Calabrian villages and for bergamot cultivation on the lower coastal belt.
