What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
Condition not stated in the listing- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €58,000 price is for approximately 5,500 m² of land with an approved project for a future 110 m² villa, not an existing habitable apartment. Construction costs are not included, and the listing’s apartment classification conflicts with its land-and-project description.
More on the house and the area
The 5,500 sqm Salento countryside setting offers genuine space and a peaceful Mediterranean lifestyle, with a planned 110 sqm villa and garden. However, there is no house yet: the listing is for land plus an approved project, so buyers must fund and manage the entire construction before it becomes a usable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €64,000
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.
- This is a building plot with an approved project, not an existing or livable villa.
- The attractive house images are illustrative renders, so the finished appearance and quality are unproven.
- Construction costs, utilities, permits/validity conditions, and rural access still need verification.
- The long, narrow plot and nearby road/canal may limit privacy and landscaping options.
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 52/100This is the inland Salento plain around Lecce, with flat to lightly undulating farmland of olive groves, vineyards and walled fields. The nearest coast is the Ionian shore around Porto Cesareo, and the Adriatic coast near Lecce is at a similar everyday distance, but neither is inside the immediate 15 km landscape. Lecce is the nearest town of size, with a large historic centre and major Baroque churches and palaces. The area is known for Salento agriculture and for being part of the Lecce hinterland.
