At €2,075/m², this occupied Bari apartment is priced far above the €602/m² level typical of comparable low-cost listings, even allowing for its discrete condition and prime location 1 km from the sea. It may suit a landlord, but the listing does not state the lease terms, rental income, or vacancy timeline.
More on the house and the area
A clean, functional Bari apartment with a cheerful Mediterranean facade, multiple balconies, a fitted kitchen, and usable bathroom and living spaces. It appears move-in ready or lightly refreshable, but the interiors are ordinary and compact, without a standout view, garden, or historic character.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Currently occupied by a tenant, so it is primarily an investment rather than an immediate home for the buyer.
- Second floor in a building without an elevator.
- Energy class G and fairly basic, compact interiors.
- No meaningful view, garden, terrace, or distinctive historic features are shown.
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 55/100This is inside the built-up area of Bari, a large Adriatic port city. The Adriatic coast is the defining nearby feature, with the city waterfront and urban beaches closest to the cluster. Bari has a substantial historic centre, a major port, a university, rail links and full city services. The area is known for its role as the main city of central Puglia and for the Basilica di San Nicola in the old town.
