This is being sold at judicial auction, which creates legal complexity. After adding an estimated €200/m² renovation, effective price is ~€379/m² (€208,855 total)—well above the regional baseline of €255/m², so not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, intact concrete industrial building with a paved yard — useful as a project but not a ready-to-live-in home. Photogenic only as brut concrete and space; major renovation and legal change-of-use would be needed to create comfortable residential living.
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€36,000 – €62,000
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.
- Large industrial/warehouse interior — needs full conversion to be a home (change of use/zoning likely).
- Visible water damage, debris and general neglect — repairs to finishes and possibly to concrete/roof required.
- No clear finished bathrooms or kitchen in photos; extensive plumbing/electric work expected.
- Sited on/next to a state road with no scenic views shown.
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 38/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the Gulf of Gioia Tauro, with the plain backed at short distance by the Aspromonte massif. The Petrace river reaches the sea here. Aspromonte National Park begins inland on the mountain side of the plain. The nearest larger centre is Reggio Calabria, with full city services, port and rail links. This stretch of Calabria is known for the port and container terminal of Gioia Tauro and for citrus and olive cultivation on the plain.
