See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale Cosenza), so purchase is via auction process rather than a normal sale; price €90,880 for 263 m² (€346/m²) cannot be treated as an ordinary market offer. The ad also states the images are not the real photos, which is a contradiction.
More on the house and the area
The photographed interiors are bright, modern and move‑in ready with a very polished bathroom and a balcony overlooking countryside — it feels like a livable, attractive home. However the advert warns images may be illustrative and one picture looks derelict, so confirm real photos/plans and the auction/legal status before proceeding.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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 states the photos are indicative and may not show the actual property — verify real photos and floorplans.
- This is an auction (Tribunale) sale — expect legal/transfer complexity and extra costs.
- One gallery image shows a very dilapidated room inconsistent with the rest of the photos — confirm true condition of all floors.
- Key data are missing in the ad (energy class, baths) — verify utilities/heating and services 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 area sits in the Crati valley with cultivated hills and low ridges inland from the Tyrrhenian coast. The Crati river basin shapes the local landscape around Montalto Uffugo and the larger urban services are in Cosenza-Rende, which has hospitals, universities, major retail and rail connections. The Sila mountains rise farther east and are a visible regional backdrop from parts of the valley, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of Calabria is known for mixed farmland, olive groves and hill villages rather than for a single protected or nationally distinctive feature within the immediate area.
