What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €18,500 asking price is attractive at €370/m², but the listing does not state the condition, construction year, or energy performance. Allowing roughly €700/m² for an uncertain renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,070/m², above the €646/m² local benchmark, despite the central location, private garden, and traditional star-vault architecture.
More on the house and the area
This is a very inexpensive Puglian property with a private garden and mature fruit trees, offering some rustic potential. However, the visible outbuilding looks neglected and difficult to inhabit without significant cleaning and renovation; the advertised star-vault character is not evident in this image.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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 visible structure is heavily overgrown and appears to need substantial renovation.
- The gallery evidence does not establish the condition of the roof, utilities, kitchen, or bathroom.
- No notable view or clearly photogenic exterior 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.
