What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A well-kept 85 m² apartment with balconies, a 13 m² cellar and parking, but the estimated all-in cost is about €107,000, or €1,259/m²—more than double the €602/m² level typical for comparable homes in the area. The listing does not state the building year, and the F energy rating may leave room for future efficiency upgrades.
More on the house and the area
A bright, well-maintained and immediately usable apartment with generous balconies, two bedrooms, a practical layout, parking and storage. It is comfortable and solid rather than characterful or dreamlike, with ordinary urban views and dated finishes.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- First-floor apartment with no elevator.
- Finishes and kitchen are functional but dated rather than recently renovated.
- Urban surroundings offer no notable landscape or sea 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.
The area around

The Alta Murgia National Park lies immediately to the west and north-west, and the Foresta di Mercadante is in the local area. The nearest larger town is Altamura, which has a substantial historic centre and services, while Bari is the main city for higher-level services and transport. The area is known for karst landscapes, woodland on the inland plateau, and bread and dairy production typical of the Murgia.
