Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,333/m² for 90 m², well above the local €594/m² reference. The house needs renovation and the listing does not mention bathrooms, energy certification, or a firm completion standard.
More on the house and the area
This compact two-level Puglian house has some authentic character, especially the vaulted ground-floor ceiling, stone masonry facade, balcony, and refurbished marble staircase. However, it is explicitly sold for renovation, with no bathroom listed and visibly worn finishes, so it is currently a project rather than a usable dream home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Requires substantial renovation and is not currently move-in ready.
- No bathroom is listed, and kitchen/utilities are not shown.
- Facade and interior plaster show significant deterioration; access is via narrow urban stairs.
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 55/100The area lies on the Murge plateau, with open limestone farmland, olive groves and a broad karst landscape. Castel del Monte is within this radius on the upland southwest of Andria, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Alta Murgia National Park extends into the countryside around Castel del Monte. The Adriatic coast is nearby at Trani and Barletta, but the urban cap applies here because the cluster is inside the built-up area of a city above 50,000 residents. Andria itself is a large service city with a historic centre, rail links and the usual provincial commerce. The area is known for olive oil, table grapes and Castel del Monte.
