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 €80,000 for 112 m², the ask is €714/m², basically in line with the local baseline of €729/m²; with a habitable-light refresh estimate of about €250/m², the effective cost is roughly €964/m², which is not a clear bargain. The layout is flexible and usable, but 0 photos and the split access/possible need to create an internal stair make the 'habitable' claim less convincing.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
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 58/100This is the inland Salento plain, with olive groves, dry-stone walls and low, flat to gently undulating ground. The Adriatic coast is the nearest sea, with the rocky shore around Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme within about 15 km. The nearest town of size is Maglie, which has shops, services and rail connections; Otranto is a larger destination on the coast just beyond the 15 km radius. The area is known for Salento agriculture and for small historic centres in local limestone.
