What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €406/m², the €65,000 asking price looks attractive, but renovation at an estimated €700/m² raises the effective cost to about €1,106/m² (€177,000 total), well above the Puglia country-house baseline of €678/m². The 160 m² independent layout and 30 photos are positives, but the property clearly requires substantial work.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely large, independent 160 sqm house with a practical two-level layout, two bathrooms, and enough space for family living. The interior appears sound and usable, but it is dated and explicitly offered for renovation, so the appeal is more about size and potential than immediate beauty.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Advertised as requiring renovation, despite the interior appearing usable.
- The decor and finishes are dated and likely need substantial modernization.
- No notable view, garden, historic details, or distinctive exterior are 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.
