The asking price is attractive at €396/m² versus the local €646/m² benchmark, but the 240 m² property includes a garage and deposit and is described as offering “possibility of personalization,” suggesting substantial work. With an estimated €700/m² renovation allowance, the effective cost rises to about €1,096/m²; the listing does not say whether it is currently habitable.
More on the house and the area
The standout feature is a very large, sunny private terrace attached to an unusually spacious 240 sqm independent property, offered at a compelling price per square metre. However, this is not a move-in-ready dream home: parts are furnished and functional, while other areas are deep into renovation with exposed services, unfinished floors and demolished walls.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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.
- Major renovation is visibly unfinished, with exposed wiring, plumbing, damaged walls and bare floors.
- The main living areas appear usable, but several rooms and possibly bathrooms require substantial completion work.
- The terrace is excellent, though the outlook is ordinary urban rooftops rather than a scenic landscape.
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 47/100Torremaggiore sits on the north Apulian plain at the foot of the first Subappennino Dauno hills. The Fortore river runs to the north of the town. The nearest larger centre is San Severo, which has rail connections and the main services of the area. Lucera, with its historic centre and the Swabian-Angevin fortress, is within the wider plain but outside the immediate surroundings. This part of the province is known for arable farming and olive groves.
