At €99,000, completing this 150 m² unfinished farmhouse could bring the effective cost to about €1,760/m², far above the local comparison level of €691/m². The listing offers garden and parking, but the substantial completion work makes this a weak renovation deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizable independent house with a planned five-bedroom layout, garage, veranda, and a rear garden. However, it is explicitly sold as a rustic property requiring completion, and the plain exterior offers little visual charm or evidence of current livability.
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€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- Advertised as a rustic property to be completed and personalized; it is not move-in ready.
- The gallery shows only a plain exterior, with no finished interiors, kitchen, or bathroom condition proven.
- The garden and garage add practical value, but the home faces a typical street and lacks a distinctive setting or 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.
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.
