Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €843/m² before works and an estimated effective cost of about €1,343/m² after updates, this is well above the local €600/m² benchmark. The property is described as legally conforming for residential use and has no condominium fees, but its condition, age and energy performance are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A bright, spacious 70 sqm home with attractive traditional terrazzo flooring, good natural light, a large bedroom, and a complete bathroom. It is a solid, roofed and potentially usable property, but the former commercial use and likely missing real kitchen mean it needs practical conversion work rather than being fully move-in ready. Its appeal is mainly value and livability, not a spectacular setting or historic character.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Former commercial premises, so residential conversion status and permits should be verified.
- The furnished kitchen and bedroom appear to be virtual staging; the actual kitchen may need to be installed.
- No garden, terrace, exterior charm, or notable view is 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 50/100This is the inland Murge around Acquaviva delle Fonti, with a low limestone plateau of fields, olive groves and scattered masserie. The area is known for the red onion of Acquaviva and for agricultural land on karst ground. Within about 15 km the main places of size are Acquaviva itself and nearby Santeramo in Colle, with ordinary town centres and daily services; Bari is farther away and does not change the immediate landscape.
