What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 160 sqm, the ask is €438/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,138/sqm, above the local low-stock baseline of €723/sqm. The score is supported by the large size, garage/terrace, and flexible layout potential, but this is more a reasonable renovation project than a standout bargain at this price.
More on the house and the area
The design shown is sleek and highly livable, with attractive modern interiors, a garage, courtyard/garden and generous roof terrace that make it easy to imagine actually living here. But this is a renovation project, and the wow comes from the proposed renderings rather than the current real house, so the score stays in the mid band rather than dream-home territory.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster lies on the Murge plateau, with open limestone countryside, cereal fields, pasture and patches of oak woodland in this part of inland Bari province. Alta Murgia National Park lies within reach of the area, and the landscape around Santeramo is part of the wider karst high plain of the Murge with sinkholes, rocky ground and dry-stone field boundaries. Matera is the nearest town of major size in daily use, with full services and the Sassi historic quarters. The area is known for Murgia grazing land, durum wheat country and meat production, especially the local cattle-breeding tradition.
