See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the low ask of €21,470. The description also contradicts the the listing condition: it says the property is in very poor abandoned condition with structural issues and infiltration, implying about €1,100/m² renovation on 80 m², far above the Puglia villa baseline of €589/m² once works are included.
More on the house and the area
There is no photo-proven beauty here—no real exterior, interior, view, or character is shown beyond generic auction screens. The description instead points to a neglected, structurally troubled house with infiltration issues, so this reads as a heavy rescue project rather than a usable Italian home. The very low price is the only real draw.
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€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Description states very poor condition and total abandonment
- Structural problems, water infiltration and falling plaster are explicitly reported
- No heating or air conditioning is present
- Images appear generic/indicative and may not show the real property
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
Location score 50/100This is the inland Murge around Acquaviva delle Fonti, with a low limestone plateau of fields, olive groves and scattered masserie. The area is known for the red onion of Acquaviva and for agricultural land on karst ground. Within about 15 km the main places of size are Acquaviva itself and nearby Santeramo in Colle, with ordinary town centres and daily services; Bari is farther away and does not change the immediate landscape.
