What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €43,000 (€538/m²), the property is only about 9% below the local €594/m² benchmark. With an estimated €40,000 renovation allowance for the older two-unit complex, the effective cost reaches roughly €1,038/m²; the listing does not state the actual condition.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
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.
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 52/100This is the inland Salento plain of the lower peninsula, with olive groves and small walled fields around a medium-sized service town. The nearest coast is the Ionian side around Torre San Giovanni and Ugento, with low sandy shores and pine woods within about 15 km. Casarano is one of the larger towns in this part of southern Salento and has the usual shops, schools and services for the surrounding area. Nearby Ugento has a historic centre and an archaeological museum. The area is known for olive growing and for the beach belt of the lower Ionian Salento.
