See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although priced at €65,000 for 60 m², all three rooms are registered for storage use (“uso deposito”), not as a dwelling. Legal residential usability and conversion are not established, making this unsuitable as a livable home without significant planning risk.
More on the house and the area
A sunny, well-fenced country home surrounded by mature olive and fruit trees, with a useful covered veranda, private driveway, and generous outdoor space. The house appears solid and usable rather than a ruin, with a functioning kitchen and furnished living/sleeping area, but it is very basic and dated. Its legal classification as storage space is the main obstacle to treating it as a straightforward full-time home.
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€24,000 – €35,000
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 three rooms are cadastral-registered as storage/deposit use, which may limit legal residential occupancy.
- Interiors are basic and dated, with no clear evidence of modern heating or full utilities beyond the electricity connection.
- The driveway and outdoor paving show substantial cracking and weathering.
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 58/100Coast: the Adriatic Sea is the main natural feature within the 15 km radius, with nearby coastal towns such as Molfetta offering a harbour, a historic centre and rail connections on the Adriatic line. Landscape: the immediate surroundings are low, gently undulating agricultural land of the Bari plain, with extensive olive groves, vineyards and arable fields. Settlements and services: the nearest town of size is Molfetta (shops, services, port, railway); the provincial capital Bari, a regional rail hub and location of the nearest major airport, lies farther away and provides larger-scale services. Protected areas and mountain sport: there is no national park or ski area inside the 15 km radius. Local economy and uses: the area is agricultural, with significant olive oil and horticultural production and scattered farmsteads and small villages.
