What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 56 m², the asking price is about €1,232/m²; assuming a basically habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is roughly €1,432/m² including light works. That is far above the low stock baseline of €740/m² for Puglia country houses, although the location just 1.5 km from the sea in Nardò supports some premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable small house rather than a ruin: it has a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and decent basic floors. But the wow factor is limited—photos show a very plain street setting, no view, and modest dated interiors that would need refreshing. At €69k near the Salento coast, the main appeal is practicality and location value rather than beauty.
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 – €6,000
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.
- Very plain exterior and no scenic views despite being near the sea.
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic updating to feel appealing.
- Some visible exterior wear/cracking and patchy wall finishes.
- Outdoor space is narrow, hard-surfaced side/rear yard rather than a true garden or terrace.
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.
