See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at judicial auction ("asta") in Rende, which brings legal/time risk that makes it unsuitable as a straightforward buy. Price €73,190 for 80 m² (habitable; est. €200/m² renovations → effective ≈ €89k or ~€1,115/m²) is well above the local median €433/m², so treat as a trap until auction/legal issues are cleared.
More on the house and the area
Modern (2010) townhouse in good maintenance with two balconies and a private courtyard — move‑in ready and practical for daily living. Excellent value at the auction price (≈€73k) in a suburban/student area, but buy through the auction process and note there is no garage and some rooms are semi‑basement.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 judicial auction — consult the perizia and complete legal checks before bidding
- Peripheral, student‑area location (near the University of Calabria) — limited views and typical suburban setting
- No garage and part of the living space is at semi‑basement level (may have reduced natural light)
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 52/100The cluster is in the Crati valley at the foot of the Coastal Range, with the Sila mountains farther east beyond Cosenza. The Crati river system shapes the plain around Rende and Cosenza. The nearest substantial town is Cosenza, which has a large historic centre, services, rail connections and the University of Calabria in the Rende area. The old centre of Rende stands on a ridge above the valley. Paola on the Tyrrhenian coast is the nearest main seaside outlet, but the coast is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of Calabria is known for a mix of hill towns, valley-floor development and access routes between the Tyrrhenian side and the inland mountains.
