At €700/m², the estimated all-in cost is about €900/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable property, above the €630/m² local comparison level. The garage and heating help, but the listing is sparse and provides little detail on age, energy performance, or condition beyond calling it habitable.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a straightforward, habitable single-storey townhouse with a practical layout, garage, heating, and a sizeable uncovered rear area. The exterior is clean but architecturally plain, with no visible view, historic character, or standout setting to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Only exterior and floor-plan images are provided, so interior condition and finish quality cannot be verified.
- No visible views, garden, historic features, or distinctive architectural character.
- Urban street setting with an uncovered rear area rather than a clearly usable garden.
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 the Salento plain, with flat agricultural land dominated by olive groves, vineyards and fields. Lecce is the nearest city and has a large Baroque historic centre, major services and a university. The Ionian coast around Porto Cesareo is the nearest stretch of sea, and the Adriatic coast east of Lecce is also reachable, but neither lies within the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for Salento agriculture and for the Baroque architecture of Lecce.
