- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale di Cosenza RGE 155/2013) and the property is occupied, creating legal and possession risks that make it unsuitable for typical buyers. The price €32,637 (~€96/m²) is far below the regional median €425/m², but the auction status dominates the assessment.
More on the house and the area
The interiors look bright, spacious and recently finished — move-in capable with attractive floors and a modern bathroom. However the ad warns images may be illustrative, the unit is occupied and auction-listed, and the planned enlargement means extra legal/renovation work could be needed before full, private use.
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€22,000 – €38,000
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 notes the photos are indicative and may not represent the actual unit.
- Property is sold at auction and is currently occupied — legal/possession steps will be needed.
- Description mentions a substantial plan/volume enlargement intervention — further works/permits may be required.
- No clear exterior views or usable garden/land are shown in the photos despite the listing mentioning a corte.
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 50/100The cluster is in the Crati valley, with cultivated hills and low ridges around the built-up area. The Crati river plain lies nearby, and the Tyrrhenian coast around Paola and the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia is a short drive west but outside the immediate landscape. The Sila mountains rise to the east beyond Cosenza, but they are not within the 15 km setting here. Cosenza is the nearest city of size and provides the main services, rail links and hospitals for the area. This part of Calabria is known for mixed agricultural land, hill villages and the corridor between the Tyrrhenian side and the Cosenza basin.
