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 €54,000 (€540/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €74,000 or €740/m² after modest habitable-home costs, close to the local €714/m² benchmark. The independent 100 m² house includes a garage, garden, terrace, original Salento features and rental potential, though it is 19 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Salento townhouse with beautiful original patterned floors, characterful ceilings and a rare private garden. The house is usable rather than a renovation shell, and the garage plus rooftop terrace add strong practical value, though the finishes are dated and the exterior is plain.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- The home is habitable but somewhat dated, with basic kitchen and bathroom finishes.
- The garden is enclosed and attractive but the exterior walls and surfaces need maintenance.
- The rooftop terrace is mentioned but its actual views are not shown in the 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.
