What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 205 sqm, the ask is just €293/sqm; adding about €250/sqm for light works (stairs to terrace/cellar and facade) gives an effective ~€543/sqm. That is only slightly above the low internal baseline of €462/sqm for Puglia palazzi, but the very large size, central/services location, and basically habitable condition make it a strong value listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell, with decent room sizes and attractive traditional vaulted ceilings that add character. The exterior is plain and worn, and several interiors feel dated, but it looks liveable now with scope to improve. At 205 sqm for €60k, the price has some appeal, though the wow is more practical than romantic.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Facade needs restoration
- Stair to terrace/cellar must be repaired
- Interiors are habitable but basic and dated
- No view or outdoor charm shown in photos
