What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is a hard veto for this catalog regardless of the asking level. The text describes a discretely maintained 77.7 sqm home with some infiltration damage, so renovation would be modest (~€200/sqm), but the auction status drives the score into trap territory.
More on the house and the area
This sounds like a genuinely usable historic-centre house rather than a shell: 77 sqm, two bedrooms, bathroom, utilities, heating, terrace and cellar. The setting and age add some charm, and the price is attractive, but without real photos there is no proven visual wow and the reported water-infiltration issue keeps it in the mid range.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- No actual property photos are shown, so visual wow is unproven.
- Condition is only described as 'discrete' with bathroom infiltration damage.
- Auction sale adds procedural and due-diligence risk.
- Historic-centre layout over 2 levels with tiny kitchen may feel less practical.
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 68/100The area sits on the edge of the Murgia plateau above the gravine belt, with the Gravina di Castellaneta cutting into the limestone close to town. The Ionian coast is at Castellaneta Marina, with a long sandy shoreline and coastal pine woods within the local area. The nearest larger town is Taranto, which provides the full range of city services, port facilities and rail connections. This part of western Tarantino is known for ravines in limestone country, olive groves and cereal land, with the coast used for summer beach tourism.
