Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 157 m² (€541/m²), the asking price is about 10% below comparable Puglia homes around €600/m². The listing describes a functional three-bedroom, two-bath home with outdoor space, but does not state its condition; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified updating brings the effective cost to about €741/m².
More on the house and the area
A substantial, fully furnished two-level home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, fireplace, patterned vintage tiles, and both a courtyard and balcony terrace. It appears immediately usable rather than a renovation shell, but the style is dated and the urban surroundings lack the dramatic sea or countryside views that would create a higher wow factor. At €85,000 for 157 sqm, the space and livability are attractive.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interiors are very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The property is in a dense residential setting, with no meaningful scenic view visible.
- Courtyard and terrace are useful but modest and largely paved.
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 77/100The area lies in the Salento plain near the Adriatic coast. The shoreline within this area includes the stretch around Torre dell'Orso, San Foca and Roca, with low limestone coast, small bays and sea caves. The archaeological site of Roca Vecchia and the Grotta della Poesia are on this coast. Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services and a large historic centre. The area is known for olive groves, dry-stone walls and Salento beach tourism.
