What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €73,000 (€768/m²), this townhouse is already slightly above the local baseline, and the advertised need for personalization suggests roughly €700/m² in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,505/m². The listing gives conflicting size figures (about 85 m² versus 95 m²) and does not clearly state the condition or renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Puglian townhouse with an attractive pale-stone facade, arched details, and a distinctive rounded upper balcony structure. The star-vaulted rooms are promising, but the home appears dated and partly unfinished rather than move-in ready, making it a renovation project with genuine residential potential.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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 property is explicitly marketed as a home to personalize, so renovation and modernization should be expected.
- The unfinished upper structure and weathered facade raise questions about the roof, upper-floor status, and overall building condition.
- The rear garden is mentioned but not visible in the supplied photo; no strong views or outdoor living space are proven.
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.
