What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price is €29,000 for 100 sqm (€290/sqm); with a full renovation estimate of about €700/sqm from 'da ristrutturare', the effective cost is about €990/sqm. That is above the local low-stock baseline of €692/sqm, but the very low entry price, independent multi-level layout, terrace, 18 photos, and good-position wording make it a strong renovation-project deal rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, structurally existing town house rather than a ruin, with floors, stairs, a basic bathroom and usable volume across several levels. But the photos show little beauty or charm: plain worn interiors, tired facade and no visible views, so it feels more like a practical project than a dream home. The garage and terrace add potential, but it needs real refurbishment to become appealing.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Needs full renovation before comfortable living
- Facade and several interiors show wear, damp and outdated finishes
- Kitchen is not installed and bathroom appears very basic
- No view, garden or notable character 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.
The area around
Location score 68/100The area sits on the Murge plateau. Alta Murgia National Park extends into this part of the plateau, with limestone pasture, oak woodland and karst terrain around Cassano. The nearest larger city is Bari, which provides the main rail links, port, airport and full city services. Matera is also nearby and is the main historic destination in the wider area, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the Murge is known for karst sinkholes and upland grazing country.
