See what needs doing and what each job costs
Property is offered via a judicial auction (veto). Price €14,393 + estimated renovation €31,800 (€200/m²) → effective ≈ €46,193, about €290/m² versus regional baseline €255/m²; the ad also states the images are not the real photos.
More on the house and the area
The pictured interiors are bright, modern and move-in‑ready and the floorplan (≈164 m², courtyard) would make a roomy family home. The extremely low auction price is a big bargain, but the listing warns photos are illustrative so verify real images and legal/title details before bidding.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Listing photos are indicative only and do NOT represent the actual property — real condition and finishes may differ.
- Property is sold at auction (legal/administrative checks and extra costs likely).
- No energy class provided; confirm utilities, roof and structural condition during inspection.
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 sits in the inland belt between the Crati valley and the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria, with low hills and cultivated countryside around it. The Coastal Range of Calabria rises to the west within this radius, and the Sila is farther away to the east but not part of the immediate landscape here. The Crati river plain and the lower valleys feeding it shape the area around Lattarico. The nearest town of size is Cosenza-Rende, which has the main services, rail connections, university facilities and hospitals for this part of Calabria. The Tyrrhenian coast around the Paola side is close enough to matter for access, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the province is known mainly for mixed farming, olive groves and small hill settlements rather than for a single protected or nationally known landscape feature.
