Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€1,196/m²), this is already about twice the local €600/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €700/m² for the unspecified renovation condition brings the effective cost to about €1,896/m². The central historic setting, balcony and terrace add appeal, but the listing does not clearly state the home’s current habitability or renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely characterful historic home in central Casamassima, with high ceilings, arches, original patterned floors, a fireplace, balcony, and a private rooftop terrace. It appears fully usable rather than a renovation shell, although the kitchen, bathroom, and some finishes are dated. At €55,000, the combination of authentic architecture and outdoor space is unusually compelling.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
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 kitchen and bathroom are functional but visibly dated and may need modernization.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- The narrow internal stair and dense town-center setting may not suit everyone.
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.
