What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse in Sava (Puglia) at 643 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 738 EUR/m2, a ~13% discount on a solid baseline. Fresh listing (1 day). Includes garage, fireplace, autonomous heating, and outdoor space. Note the sqm discrepancy: listed 70 m2 but description says ~61 m2 living plus garage/cellar/garden, so the price advantage is thinner if measured on living area alone. Missing building year and energy class limit precision. Condition is habitable, so only light cosmetic refresh assumed.
More on the house and the area
Ground-floor townhouse in Sava, Puglia, at a low €643/m². Interiors are habitable but dated: patterned brown floor tiles, aging fitted white kitchen with floral-curtain oven, an old tiled bathroom, and a bedroom with heavy traditional wooden furniture. Layout is a series of narrow corridors and small rooms. Positives are practical rather than dramatic: an interior fireplace/camino, a 25 m² garage, autonomous heating, and a small tiled courtyard with potted geraniums plus a cellar and small garden plot. Nothing here stops the scroll — no stunning architecture, view, or unusual character. The bargain price is modest but not exceptional enough to register as a true wow given the dated, ordinary condition.
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.
- Dated interiors with old furnishings and worn tiling throughout
- Kitchen/bathroom appear original and in need of updating
- No sea distance or view; ground-floor townhouse with only a small enclosed courtyard
- Watermarked agency photos, mostly narrow hallways and dark rooms
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.
