- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction listing (occupied) with cadastral irregularities—auction status is a legal risk. Estimated renovation €700/m² yields an effective price ≈€758/m² (price €9,799 + ~€118,300 renovation), well above the regional baseline €425/m².
More on the house and the area
Photos show bright, recently‑finished-looking rooms and a handsome historic façade, so the building has real visual appeal. However the file states the house needs renovation, is occupied and has cadastral issues and auction conditions, so this is a bargain project rather than a ready-to-live dream home.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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.
