Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 (€784/m²), this apparently habitable 74 m² apartment is priced well above the local comparison level of €543/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for finishing and furnishings brings the effective cost near €984/m². The description says one bedroom and two bathrooms, while the listing facts report zero rooms, beds, and bathrooms, so the property details should be verified.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, furnished-ready home in Casamassima’s historic center, with attractive patterned floors, a functional kitchen, air conditioning, and a terrace. The real standout is the atmospheric stone lane and direct view toward the beautiful historic church tower, though the terrace and surrounding façades are worn rather than polished.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- The terrace and some exterior walls look weathered and may need maintenance.
- The home appears to have limited natural light because it has only one free side.
- The listing facts are inconsistent about rooms and bathrooms, so layout and legal details should be verified.
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 43/100This area sits on the inland Murge plateau south of Bari, with low limestone country, fields, olive groves and scattered masserie around the town. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Bari and Mola di Bari, but it is outside the 15 km landscape radius. Within the area are the large commercial outskirts along the Bari-Taranto corridor and the settlement belt toward Valenzano and Noicattaro. Bari is the nearest city of size, with the port, airport, universities and major services. The area is known locally for agriculture on karst limestone and for Casamassima's old centre, sometimes called the "blue town" because of painted streets in part of the historic core.
