At €385/m², the asking price is 36% below the local comparable median of €598/m². Assuming the four-level property is broadly habitable, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €585/m²; the listing does not state its condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A surprisingly spacious 130 sqm Puglian townhouse with attractive arched openings, traditional terrazzo floors, balconies and a strong old-town character. It is a solid, roofed home rather than a ruin, but the bare, dated interiors and unclear kitchen/bathroom condition mean it needs real renovation before feeling like a dream home.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- The interiors are very dated and appear to need substantial cosmetic and systems updating.
- The kitchen areas look incomplete or outdated, and the bathrooms are not clearly shown.
- Dense urban setting with no visible garden or attractive view; the advertised terrace is not shown in the gallery.
- Four-level layout may be less convenient for everyday living.
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

Bari is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre, port, university, airport and full services. The area is known for olive groves, vegetable cultivation and the suburban belt around the metropolitan edge of Bari.
