See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €92,000 (€885/m²), the apartment needs renovation, bringing the estimated all-in cost to about €164,800 or €1,585/m²—far above the €600/m² local benchmark. Its central Brindisi location, sea access, terrace, and 21 photos are positives, but they do not offset the renovation-adjusted price.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious, solid urban apartment with attractive original terrazzo floors, high ceilings, balconies, and a private outdoor veranda. It is clearly a real home rather than a shell, but the stripped kitchen, dated bathroom, plain interiors, and lack of a memorable setting make it more of a practical renovation opportunity than a dream Italian property.
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€20,000 – €37,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including the kitchen and likely general updating.
- First-floor apartment without an elevator.
- Energy class G and no notable view or historic character are 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 52/100This is inside the built-up area of Brindisi on the Adriatic coast, so the lived setting is an urban port city rather than open landscape. The coast here is the inner Brindisi harbour and the Adriatic shoreline. Brindisi has a large historic centre, a commercial port, ferry traffic, and Roman remains linked to the Via Appia. The area is known for its harbour and port functions.
