What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 65 sqm, the asking price is about €1,154/sqm; assuming a basically habitable independent house at ~€200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is about €1,354/sqm. That is well above your low-stock baseline of €726/sqm, but the central position in Mola di Bari near the seafront and historic core supports a still-positive score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable old-town house rather than a shell, with attractive vaulted rooms and a classic corner-street setting. The charm comes from the historic interiors, but the facade is tired and there are visible signs of damp and deferred maintenance, so it feels livable now yet in need of meaningful refreshment. It has dream value for someone who loves authentic Puglian town houses, but not strong visual wow.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 clear cosmetic updating throughout
- Visible moisture/peeling plaster on ceilings and facade
- Very limited balcony/outdoor space
- No sea view shown despite seaside town location
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.
