See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale/Cosenza, wording in the ad), which is a veto due to legal/process risk. Asking price €98,656 is just €33/m2 (3,010 m2); using €200/m2 for a 'habitable' baseline gives an effective ~€233/m2 vs regional median €425/m2, but auction status makes this unsuitable for a normal purchase.
More on the house and the area
Photos show high‑end, move‑in‑ready interiors but the property faces a plain urban street with no views or historic charm. The large 3,010 m² lot with seven townhouses at a low price is a clear bargain, more an investment/project for conversion than a romantic turnkey Italian villa.
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€199,000 – €336,000
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 images are indicative and may not show the real property (photos may be illustrative).
- Street‑facing, urban setting with no scenic views or historic character visible in the photos.
- This is a multi‑unit lot (7 terraced houses) sold at auction and may require administrative work or completion to be a single comfortable home.
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 lies on the lower slopes west of Cosenza, in the valley system that opens toward the Crati plain, with the Coastal Range rising a short distance to the west. The Savuto valley and the first Tyrrhenian-facing mountains are within the local hinterland, and the Sila massif is visible farther east beyond Cosenza but outside the immediate landscape. Cosenza is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a historic centre, and the urban area shared with Rende. The area is known mainly as the inland edge between the Cosenza urban basin and the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria, with mixed hillside settlement and access routes across the province.
