See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€628/m²), the asking price is below the local €714/m² reference, but the house is explicitly unfinished and needs renovation. Allowing about €65,800 for works brings the effective cost to roughly €1,328/m², making it weak value despite the garden and partially renewed floors.
More on the house and the area
The two traditional star-vaulted rooms provide genuine Puglian character, while the rear garden adds useful outdoor potential. However, this is not a move-in-ready home: interiors are worn and partly unfinished, with visible damp/repair marks and basic outdated bathroom fittings.
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€18,000 – €33,000
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.

- Substantial renovation and completion work is needed, including plastering, finishes and likely modernization of services.
- The garden is currently overgrown and the exterior walls show significant weathering.
- The home appears structurally roofed, but the listing does not confirm full systems, utilities or immediate habitability.
