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 €75,000 for 91 sqm, the asking price is €824/sqm; assuming light habitable updates at about €250/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,074/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €730/sqm in Puglia townhouses. Good features (37 photos, terrace, character vaults, flexible layout) support plausibility, but on pure numbers it is not a discount deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with generous volumes, lovely vaulted star ceilings, two bathrooms, and a functional kitchen already in place. The main wow comes from the bright white interiors and authentic Puglian vaults rather than the outlook or exterior. It feels comfortably habitable now, with scope to make it much more stylish over time.
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€8,000 – €12,000
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 truly scenic view; balconies overlook street and trees.
- Interior is clean and habitable but fairly plain/modernized in finish.
- Layout is currently split into two small units unless reconfigured.
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.
