In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Independent monolocale of 36 sqm in Vaste (Poggiardo), Puglia at €778/m2 vs baseline median €643/m2, so ~21% above baseline. Needs renovation with charming star vaults, small bathroom, cellar and garden plot, 5km from sea. Habitable dwelling (not agricultural/ruin), fresh listing (5 days), 12 photos. Small size makes total price low (€28k) but per-m2 premium over baseline plus renovation needs (~€800/m2) temper the deal. Reasonable but not a standout — renovation costs on ~36 sqm add meaningfully to total. Fair value for a characterful borgo property near Otranto/Castro.
More on the house and the area
A 36 sqm independent monolocale in Vaste, an ancient Messapian/Roman/Byzantine borgo near Poggiardo. Interior photos show a very dated, cluttered space frozen in time, but the described 'meravigliose volte a stella' (star vaults) give it genuine historic character. Exterior is an ordinary stone street facade. At €28k (€778/m2) it is cheap, and location 5km from Castro/Santa Cesarea sea is appealing, but the property itself needs full renovation and lacks visual punch beyond the vaulting. Charming rather than a scroll-stopper.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
