What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 plus an estimated €59,500 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,629/m², far above the local €607/m² reference for similar homes. The sea is only 1 km away and the apartment has an elevator and good exposure, but the renovation burden is too high for the asking price.
More on the house and the area
A bright, solid urban apartment with attractive terrazzo floors, decorative ceiling trim, a balcony, and a fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. It appears usable rather than derelict, but the dated finishes and renovation requirement keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.

- Clearly dated interiors and listed as needing renovation.
- Urban surroundings offer no scenic view, garden, or distinctive setting.
- Energy class G; bathroom and kitchen will likely need modernization.
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 42/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Taranto, between the Mar Grande and the Mar Piccolo on the Ionian coast. The coast and the two inland sea basins are the defining natural features here. Taranto is a major city with a large port, naval base, commercial services, hospitals, schools, and a substantial historic core on the island between the two basins. The area is known for mussel farming in the Mar Piccolo and for heavy industry around the port.
