What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovation- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description is for agricultural land of 6,000 sqm with three tiny rural outbuildings of about 20 sqm, not a clear lawful dwelling; that is a veto red flag for a buyer seeking a habitable home. At €45,000 for just 26 sqm recorded and needing renovation, the effective cost is about €2,831/m² including works versus an €817/m² baseline, so it is also poor value.
More on the house and the area
The olive-dotted Puglian plot has a peaceful rural feel, roadside access, and a charming little shrine that gives it character. But the photos show essentially land with a few very small rustic outbuildings, not a usable home. This is more a countryside project than a place you could realistically move into soon.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €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.
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.

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.
The area around

The area is known for Salento baroque towns, olive growing and easy access to the Ionian beaches of this part of Lecce province.
