What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Detached townhouse at 390 EUR/m2 vs 738 median (47% below baseline) with a strong baseline. 200 sqm, garage, courtyard, terrace, fresh listing (3 days). Needs full renovation (1967 build), so budget ~600 EUR/m2 (~120k) for a habitable outcome. Even post-reno, total ~200k stays reasonable for the space and independence. Missing energy class and sea distance are minor. Solid value if renovation costs are contained.
More on the house and the area
Independent townhouse in Cassano delle Murge (inland Puglia) needing complete renovation. The arched stone doorway and rusticated stone base give modest historic character, but overall the property is ordinary. Interiors show water damage, dated fixtures, and general neglect. At 390 EUR/m2 for 200sqm with garage, courtyard and terrace, the price is reasonable but not a dramatic bargain. No standout view, unusual location, or striking architecture. AI-enhanced facade shots suggest the real condition is rougher than presented.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €70,000
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.
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.
