At €438/m², the apartment is about 27% below the local benchmark, with the sea only 1 km away. However, its condition is not stated, there is just one photo, and it will not be available until May 2027, reducing the practical value of the discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, inexpensive 80 sqm apartment in an ordinary urban building, with balconies and an elevator but no proven view or distinctive character. The home may be usable, yet its real condition cannot be judged because no interior photos are provided. The €35,000 price is the main appeal, rather than beauty or dream-home atmosphere.
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€5,000 – €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.
- Only one exterior photo is provided, with no proof of the interior condition or finishes.
- The apartment is occupied and reportedly not releasable until May 2027.
- The fifth-floor unit has an elevator, but the listing does not confirm utilities, maintenance, or building costs.
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 47/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Taranto, on the Ionian coast at the Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo. The old city stands on an island between the two inlets, linked by bridges, and the city has a large naval and industrial waterfront. The nearest substantial non-urban landscape feature is the coastal strip west toward Leporano and east toward Pulsano, with low Mediterranean shoreline rather than cliffs or a named protected landscape in the immediate 15 km around the city centre. Taranto is known for its Aragonese Castle, the cathedral in the old city, the National Archaeological Museum, and mussel farming in the Mar Piccolo.
