Casa indipendente in Via Carovigno 2
Indipendente ad angolo, tra Via Brindisi e Via Carovigno, dall'enorme impatto storico, posto al primo piano, con le caratteristiche volte a stella e a botte, con pavimenti dell'epoca ( cementine ) e con le pareti già pulite della vecchia calce che ne rivestiva le stesse. Accesso alla terrazza. Molteplici usi, da quello…
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €62,500 for 105 sqm, the ask is €595/sqm; assuming a renovation-level budget of about €700/sqm from the period finishes, stripped walls and no bathroom listed, the effective cost is about €1,295/sqm. That is not cheap after works versus the local baseline of €692/sqm, but the low entry price, independent corner position, historic character and terrace in Puglia still make it an attractive renovation project rather than a bargain-basement steal.
More on the house and the area
This has real historic romance: soaring stone vaults, original cement tiles, and a dramatic old corner facade. But it is not move-in ready at all—more a solid, characterful shell with major fit-out still needed to become a usable home. At the price, the preserved interior volumes create strong dream potential, but the condition keeps it in the mid band.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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 bathroom shown and the home is not currently equipped for living.
- Needs significant renovation/installation work despite the structure appearing standing and roofed.
- Some areas look darkened/damaged and may need repair beyond cosmetics.
- Town setting only; no proven view, garden, or countryside land 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.
