What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €19,500 for 42 sqm, the asking price is €464/sqm, well below the local baseline of €817/sqm, but it is explicitly da ristrutturare and lacks functioning water/electric systems, so I estimate about €900/sqm renovation cost. That puts the effective cost around €1,364/sqm, above the baseline; the Bari location and 5 km from the sea help, but this is mainly a full renovation play rather than a cheap livable home.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the vaulted stone character and the low price, with renderings showing how attractive it could become. But in its current state it is a stripped, damp-looking space with no bathroom, kitchen, or active systems, so this is a project rather than a usable 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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €15,000
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.
- Full renovation needed before it can be lived in
- No working water or electrical systems currently installed
- Some photos are renderings, not the current reality
- Courtyard and interiors are very raw and unfinished
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.
