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 €99,000 for 168 sqm, the ask is €589/sqm; assuming habitable condition at about €200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is ~€789/sqm versus a €730/sqm local baseline, so this is not ultra-cheap on paper. Still, it is a large independent townhouse in the historic center of Salento with 25 photos, outdoor space, terrace and strong rental/holiday-home appeal, which supports a solid above-average score.
More on the house and the area
This has real liveable-house appeal: generous rooms, a usable kitchen, two bathrooms, private outdoor space, and classic Salento star-vaulted ceilings that give it character. It is not a polished design dream, but it looks solid, bright, and ready to occupy with only light refreshing. At this price for 168 sqm near the Salento coast, the value adds a strong wow factor.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and habitable but fairly plain and may need cosmetic updating.
- Outdoor space is more courtyard/side yard than a dramatic garden.
- No proven sea or open scenic views in the 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.
