What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 170 sqm, the ask is about €500/sqm, but with a typical needs-renovation budget of ~€700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,200/sqm, well above the €628/sqm baseline for similar sub-€100k stock in Puglia. The house is large and has outdoor space/garage, but it is in a peripheral location and not especially close to the sea (11 km), so the value looks only fair rather than cheap.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, substantial house rather than a shell: big rooms, usable layout, veranda, courtyard garden and garage make it genuinely livable after works. The value is in the size and outdoor space, not beauty—interiors are very dated and lack standout character or views. It feels practical and affordable more than dreamily photogenic.
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€34,000 – €60,000
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.

- Needs significant renovation/modernisation throughout
- Outdoor space is walled and urban, with no real view

The area around
Location score 49/100This is the north Salento plain between Lecce and Brindisi, with flat agricultural land planted with olive groves and fields. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Casalabate and Torre Rinalda, with low sandy shoreline and wetlands near the shore. Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and full services. The area is known for Salento agriculture and for being on the plain of the Lecce peninsula rather than in a hill or mountain landscape.
