What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 135 sqm, the ask is €444/sqm; with an estimated €700/sqm renovation for a partly started recovery, the effective cost is about €1,144/sqm. Against the local sub-€100k baseline of €800/sqm this is not ultra-cheap after works, but the low entry price, 20 photos, and active renovation elements already completed make it a solid diamond candidate.
More on the house and the area
The faded old facade has genuine Apulian character, with a handsome arched doorway and period detailing that could look lovely restored. But inside it is clearly a renovation project: stripped rooms, unfinished surfaces, and only partial systems, so this is not yet a home you could realistically move into. At €60k for 135 sqm it has bargain appeal, but the wow is mostly potential rather than present-day livability.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Interior is mid-renovation and not currently livable
- Bathroom appears only planned/partially created
- Outdoor space is a hard courtyard rather than a garden
- No view or notable setting shown in photos
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.
