What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 71 sqm, the asking price is €1,268/sqm; with a realistic renovation allowance of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,968/sqm. That is far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €729/sqm, so despite the independent entrance, terrace, and historic-center location, this looks expensive for a 'needs renovation' townhouse.
More on the house and the area
The strongest appeal here is the setting: a genuinely atmospheric white-stone lane in Putignano's historic centre, with a charming old-town facade and vaulted interior volumes. Inside, it is a real roofed and floored house rather than a shell, but it feels sparse and tired, needing renovation and proper fitting-out before it becomes truly dreamy to live in. The terrace could add appeal, but the photos do not prove any wow view.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 77/100The area sits on the Murge karst plateau, with rolling limestone countryside, dry-stone walls, vineyards, olive groves and scattered trulli. It is close to the Valle d’Itria landscape around Alberobello, Locorotondo and Martina Franca, which begins within this radius. Putignano itself is a substantial town with services and a historic center, and larger towns nearby include Monopoli on the Adriatic coast and Conversano inland. Alberobello, within reach of the cluster, is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its concentration of trulli. The area is known for trulli, karst terrain and mixed agricultural countryside typical of central Puglia.
