See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €93,000 for 150 m², the home is priced near €620/m², but its 1980s fit-out and need for a new water connection suggest roughly €700/m² in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,320/m² versus a local reference around €600/m². The serviced location and nearby Puglia coast help, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable Puglian home with beautiful traditional star-vaulted ceilings, patterned floors, generous rooms, and a dramatic entrance salon. It is not a ruin or empty shell, but the interiors are old-fashioned and the new water connection is an important practical hurdle.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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 home is visibly dated, with 1980s furnishings and finishes, so cosmetic modernization would significantly improve it.
- A new water connection is required.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 150 sqm, four-bedroom home.
- The exterior is on a fairly plain urban street, with no visible panoramic view.
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.
