At €50,000 (€385/m²), the house looks inexpensive, but a substantial renovation at about €700/m² brings the estimated total to roughly €141,000, or €1,085/m²—well above the local €630/m² reference. The central location, two entrances, terraces, and possible division into two apartments add flexibility, while the listing does not state the building year.
More on the house and the area
A generous four-level townhouse with attractive old Apulian details, arched openings, terrazzo floors, balconies and a potentially appealing rooftop terrace. The structure appears intact and roofed rather than ruined, but the interiors are very dated and partly stripped, so this is a real renovation project rather than a move-in home. At €50,000 for 130 m², the size and possible two-apartment configuration create strong value appeal.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs substantial renovation, especially kitchens, bathrooms, finishes and systems.
- No meaningful view or private garden is shown; it is in a dense town-center street.
- The four-level layout may be less convenient for everyday living, though it could suit division into two apartments.
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.
