What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
A reasonably maintained 86 m² apartment with balconies, cellar and parking, but at €90,000 (€1,047/m²) it is substantially above the local comparison level of about €603/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for routine updating gives an effective cost near €1,247/m². Its proximity to Miulli hospital adds practical value, but it is not a sea-side location and the premium is not clearly justified.
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 – €10,000
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.
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 71/100The cluster is on the Murge plateau, with limestone hills, karst ground and broad areas of oak woodland. 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.
