Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction (Tribunale Catanzaro). Nominal price €28,131 for 183 m² but with ~€700/m² renovation (€128,100) the effective price is ~€156,231 (~€854/m²), well above the regional baseline of €228/m²; the listing also warns images are only indicative.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Bright, stylish attic and newly tiled bathrooms show real potential and character, and the street-facing façades are classically Italian. However the property is uneven inside with at least one very run-down bedroom and overall renovation/auction work required — a clear bargain for someone ready to finish the job.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€64,000 – €92,000

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.

€110,000 – €165,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

€220,000 – €275,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €64,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Mixed condition: some rooms fully renovated (attic, modern bathrooms) while others are dilapidated and need major work.
  • Property is sold at auction (RGE) — legal/administrative steps and possible delays required.
  • Listing warns images may be indicative; verify actual condition and complete planimetries 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 74/100

The cluster is on the Sila foothills, with the Sila Piccola within the 15 km landscape and the Montagna della Sila immediately inland. It sits inside the Sila National Park area. The nearest substantial town is Catanzaro, which provides the full range of services and administrative functions. This part of Calabria is known for forested uplands, chestnut and beech woods, and upland lakes farther into the Sila. Taverna is also associated with Mattia Preti, who was born here.
