At €72,000 plus an estimated €14,800 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,173/m²—roughly 86% above the local comparison level of €629/m². The listing has 32 photos, but it does not say anything about the building's age, energy performance, or specific features to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A solid, usable Puglian townhouse with appealing vaulted ceilings, traditional arches, terrazzo floors and antique decorative details. It is a real home rather than a renovation shell, but the interiors are modest and dated, while the street setting offers little visual drama or outdoor living.
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.
- Interior is habitable but clearly dated, with an old kitchen, worn finishes and some visible maintenance needs.
- No private garden, terrace or meaningful view is shown; the home faces a dense urban street.
- Only one bathroom is documented, and heating/utilities should be verified.
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.
