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 €70,000 for 120 sqm, the ask is €583/sqm, but with a typical renovation allowance of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,283/sqm, well above the €629/sqm baseline for Puglia villas. Good features like independence, garden and 33 photos help, but the open SCIA and updated cadastral plan only being delivered at sale add some execution risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical independent house with a surprisingly large private rear garden for the price, but it has very little visual romance. The structure looks sound and roofed, with floors and usable volume, yet several interiors are partly demolished or unfinished, so it is a real renovation project rather than an easy move-in home. At €70k for 120 sqm near Lecce and the Ionian coast, the value helps more than the beauty does.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.

The area around
Location score 52/100This is the inland Salento plain around Lecce, with flat to lightly undulating farmland of olive groves, vineyards and walled fields. The nearest coast is the Ionian shore around Porto Cesareo, and the Adriatic coast near Lecce is at a similar everyday distance, but neither is inside the immediate 15 km landscape. Lecce is the nearest town of size, with a large historic centre and major Baroque churches and palaces. The area is known for Salento agriculture and for being part of the Lecce hinterland.
