The €22,000 purchase price is attractive at €110/m², but the property is completely to renovate; at an estimated €1,100/m², the total project could reach about €242,000, or €1,210/m²—roughly double comparable local homes. Its historic-center position, independence, and terrace add appeal, but do not fully offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The 200 sqm independent house has some authentic old-town character, multiple levels, balconies, and a private terrace with a modest rooftop view. However, it is explicitly completely to renovate and the exterior shows substantial deterioration, so this is a major project rather than a realistically usable home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Completely to renovate, with extensive peeling plaster and visibly deteriorated balconies and facade.
- Interior condition, kitchen, bathrooms, utilities, and structural integrity are not demonstrated in the gallery.
- Dense historic-center setting with no garden and only a modest rooftop urban outlook.
- Renovation and possible balcony/roof compliance issues should be professionally assessed.
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 38/100The area lies on the Tavoliere plain, with the first relief of the Gargano inland to the east but outside the immediate landscape of the town. San Severo is a medium-sized service town with a historic centre, rail links and the main shops and services for this part of northern Puglia. This part of the province is known for broad arable farmland and for San Severo DOC wine and olive growing.
