In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 71 m² apartment near the sea, but its effective cost is about €1,538/m² versus roughly €600/m² for comparable local stock. The 500 m sea proximity and independent heating add appeal, yet the price leaves little value for the buyer.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable 71 sqm home with working kitchen and bathroom, tiled floors, heating, and attractive vaulted ceilings with exposed-stone details. Its traditional Puglian street setting and characterful interior are appealing, though the home is modest, somewhat dark, and would benefit from cosmetic updating rather than delivering a spectacular dream-house experience.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- No garden, terrace, or sea view is shown; the apartment is on a dense urban street.
- Finishes are dated and some walls show patching or decorative treatment that may need refreshing.
- The gallery does not clearly show the bedrooms or confirm the condition of the roof, windows, and utilities.
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.
