What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €562/m² versus the Puglia country-house baseline of €678/m², with a strong 17% headline discount. Allowing €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €762/m², so the deal is positive but dependent on interior condition being reasonably habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, genuinely usable townhouse with bright rooms, patterned period tilework, marble stairs, shutters, and a small roof terrace. It has authentic local character and appears habitable, but the dense urban surroundings and dated finishes make it more charming than dreamlike.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Urban setting with no meaningful private garden or scenic view
- Interior appears dated and partly used for storage, especially the main living area
- Only one bathroom is shown; verify utilities, roof condition, and any renovation needs
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.
