What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €72,000 for 46 sqm, the asking price is about €1,565/sqm; assuming basic habitable condition from the description (independent apartment, heating, bathroom), effective cost is about €1,765/sqm including light updates. That is roughly 98% above the Puglia country-house baseline of €892/sqm, so despite decent livability signals it looks expensive for this stock.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little home rather than a shell, with attractive Apulian vaulted ceilings and a fireplace adding some character. But the overall presentation is quite tired, the exterior is plain, and there are no views or standout outdoor spaces. It feels more like a modest small-town starter home needing refreshment than a dream-property scroll stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Needs clear cosmetic updating and likely maintenance
- Very small home with limited outdoor space
- Exterior is plain and on a street with no special setting
- Rear lightwell/utility area looks tired and may need work
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.
