Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 (€686/m²), this 70 m² home is slightly above the local €646/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €250/m² for its merely fair maintenance condition raises the effective cost further. Its historic-center location and nearby services help, but the listing does not state the construction year, energy class, or complete layout.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely livable old-town house with traditional stone details, multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large rooftop terrace. The home is in decent but dated condition, with basic furnishings and finishes that would benefit from modernization; its appeal is more authentic village living than spectacular beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and functional rather than design-led.
- The rooftop terrace is usable but currently unfinished and exposed.
- No notable sea, countryside, or townscape view is shown.
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 50/100This is the inland Murge around Acquaviva delle Fonti, with a low limestone plateau of fields, olive groves and scattered masserie. The area is known for the red onion of Acquaviva and for agricultural land on karst ground. Within about 15 km the main places of size are Acquaviva itself and nearby Santeramo in Colle, with ordinary town centres and daily services; Bari is farther away and does not change the immediate landscape.
