What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €657/m², the asking price is only slightly above the local €602/m² reference, but the electrical and other systems need revision, bringing the estimated all-in cost to about €1,257/m². The central, serviced location and current rental income help, but the listing does not state the building year or overall condition in detail.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful small home in Foggia’s historic 18th-century quarter, with attractive vaulted ceilings, clean tiled interiors, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, and a photogenic colorful exterior. It appears usable rather than derelict, but the 35 m² single-room layout, energy class G, systems needing revision, and current tenancy limit its dream-home 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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Very small 35 m² single-room layout with no separate bedroom.
- Electrical and other systems reportedly need checking or updating.
- Currently rented, so immediate owner-occupation may not be possible.
- Ground-floor urban setting has no private outdoor space or notable 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
Location score 25/100This is the flat Tavoliere plain around Foggia, with large-scale arable farmland and a dense network of roads, rail lines and industrial and logistics areas around the city. The urban area of Foggia itself is a regional service centre with a railway hub, university facilities, hospitals and major retail. The Gargano promontory and the Daunia mountains are farther out and do not define the landscape within about 15 km.
