Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction listing for a collabente trullo explicitly described as privo di agibilità e utilizzo, so it fails the habitability test regardless of the low €45,000 asking price. At 189 sqm and a full-restore level (~€1,100/sqm), the effective cost would be about €1,338/sqm, far above the €590/sqm baseline.
More on the house and the area
The trullo complex is undeniably photogenic, with authentic conical stone roofs and strong Apulian character in a rural setting. But this is not a usable home as shown: it appears abandoned, overgrown, and effectively a collabente shell with no visible habitable interior. Dreamy as a restoration project, weak as a live-in house today.
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€75,000 – €111,000
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.
- Collabente trullo rustico with no habitability certificate
- No bathroom or usable interior shown
- Heavy overgrowth and likely full restoration needed
- Auction listing: documentation and legal status need checking
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.
