This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale Catanzaro / “VUOI ACQUISTARE QUESTO IMMOBILE ALL'ASTA?”) and is flagged as an auction rather than a normal sale. Listed at €68,265 for 202 m² (€338/m²) and described as 'Habitable' → estimated renovation ≈ €200/m².
More on the house and the area
Spacious 202 m² townhouse that looks freshly plastered and tiled with modern floors and recessed lighting — essentially habitable but not yet fully fitted. The interior is neutral and practical rather than characterful, and the exterior/location offer no scenic appeal; excellent size-for-price if you can accept some finishing work and the auction process.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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 unit.
- Exterior looks like a generic apartment block — no garden, terrace or scenic views visible.
- Some fixtures appear unfinished (kitchen hookups, shower tray, door trims) so light finishing works may be needed.
- Property is an auction lot — verify legal/title, possession and extra costs 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 58/100The cluster is on the Ionian side of the Catanzaro area, between low cultivated hills and the coastal plain of the Gulf of Squillace. The Sila range rises inland to the north, but the main mountain scenery is outside the immediate 15 km radius. The Ionian coast and the beaches of the Gulf of Squillace are about 8 km away. The nearest town of size is Catanzaro, which has the main provincial services, hospital, rail links and the regional administrative role. Squillace is nearby and the area is known for the archaeological park of ancient Skylletion at Roccelletta di Borgia and for olive groves and citrus on the coastal side.
