See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is offered as a judicial auction, which requires legal due diligence and is a veto for easy buying. Price €35,219 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (€22,200) gives an effective cost ~€57,400 (~€517/m²), well above the local median €255/m², so not an immediate bargain.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable town house with vintage character (marble stair, patterned floor tiles and an arched interior opening) and a small private courtyard. Interiors are lived-in but dated — ready to live in with cosmetic work rather than a full rebuild. Great value for the size and location, but check auction/legal details before buying.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Dated finishes and bathrooms — cosmetic updating likely needed.
- Sold at auction: verify legal/title and bidding costs with an attorney.
- Tight town-street access and limited on-street parking potential.
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 is in the low hills just inland from the Tyrrhenian coast, with short access to the beaches between Vibo Marina, Pizzo and Briatico. The Costa degli Dei lies along this stretch of coast, with Capo Vaticano farther south outside the immediate 15 km radius. Vibo Valentia is the nearest town of size and has the provincial services, a historic centre and the Norman-Swabian castle that houses the state archaeological museum. Pizzo is nearby and is known for its seafront town centre and Murat Castle. The area is known for olive groves, citrus, and the Tyrrhenian coastal landscape of small coves and sandy stretches backed by low hills.
