See what needs doing and what each job costs
The property is being sold at auction (min offer €40,545) but the description reports mediocre conditions and inaccessible rooms, contradicting the 'Renovated' tag. Estimated renovation ≈€700/m² yields an effective price ≈€1,000/m² (total ≈€135k), well above the local median €255/m², so this listing is a high-risk auction trap.
More on the house and the area
A simple two‑storey house with balcony, utilities and a generous plot with productive fields and greenhouses — attractive if you want land and a rural lifestyle. The home is dated and parts are unsafe or in need of repair, so plan for renovation work before it’s a comfortable move‑in property.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €48,000
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 shows mediocre maintenance: areas with dangerous/unstable plaster and two rooms not accessible.
- Interior and finishes are dated; expect cosmetic and some structural repairs before fully comfortable living.
- Heating is by GPL bottles; windows are single-glazed — energy upgrades likely needed.
- Farm/greenhouse infrastructure is present but will require upkeep and possible permits.
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 area is on the Ionian side of Calabria between the lower hills and the Gulf of Squillace. The coast at Montepaone Lido and the long Ionian beaches are within the local radius. Inland, the first Serre Calabresi hills rise a short distance behind the coast. Soverato is the nearest town of size, with a seafront, marina, rail station and the main services for this stretch of coast. Catanzaro is the larger provincial city used for higher-level services and administration. This part of the gulf is known for beach resorts, olive groves and citrus on the coastal strip and lower hills.
