This is offered at judicial auction (Tribunale) and the unit is occupied, which makes purchase risky. Listed price €73,200 + estimated €200/m² renovation (€16,000) = €89,200 total (~€1,115/m²) vs local median ~€425/m², so the auction status is the decisive veto.
More on the house and the area
The interior photos show a bright, recently‑refurbished 80 m² flat with modern tiles, recessed lighting and a high‑end bathroom — clearly move‑in ready. It’s a solid urban bargain for the price, but sold at auction and occupied, so expect legal/possession work and no outdoor space or scenic views.
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 is part of an auction and is currently occupied — expect legal/eviction steps and extra costs.
- Urban apartment in a mid-rise block with no private garden, terrace or notable view (sea ~17 km).
- Confirm number of bathrooms and building/condominium fees before bidding.
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.
