What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 125sqm apartment at €680/m2, slightly below town median of €710/m2 (n=2632, solid baseline). Full ownership, fresh listing (3 days). Includes garage (~20sqm), cellar, balcony, autonomous gas heating, AC, and armored door. 1974 build with energy class G means poor efficiency, but condition is stated habitable with double exposure and good light. Central, well-served location. Only minor cosmetic refresh likely needed. Modest discount to median plus useful extras (garage, cellar) make this a solid value.
More on the house and the area
Standard second-floor apartment in central Cassano delle Murge. Spacious at 125 sqm with garage and cellar, but presentation is thoroughly ordinary: dated glossy travertine-style floors, old wood built-ins, a brick corner fireplace, and half-packed moving boxes throughout. Exterior is a plain 1970s green-and-white condo block on a nondescript street. No stunning spaces, no view, no unusual character. The €680/m2 price is low but not dramatically bargain enough to constitute a wow. Nothing here stops the scroll.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Dated 1974 building with energy class G
- Interiors are functional but unrenovated with dated wood furnishings and marble/travertine tiling
- Urban outlook onto neighboring buildings, no notable view
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.
