Casa indipendente in Via V. Bellini 86
Abitazione al piano terra con giardino, composta da due vani a stella degli anni '50 e da un terzo vano soggiorno-cucina con i solai piani completamente rifatti nuovi. L'immobile è da completare, è stato interessato, recentemente da un intervento di rifacimento, di parte dei solai (quelli non a stella) e ridimensionamento della vecchia struttura, questo per lasciare spazio al giardino...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €747/m², the €59,000 asking price is already above the €678/m² local baseline, and the house still needs completion. Assuming roughly €700/m² for the unfinished renovation, effective cost rises to about €1,397/m²; the garden and parking add some value, but the 14 km distance from the sea does not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Puglian house with two attractive star-vaulted rooms, traditional shutters, old fittings, and a private rear garden. It is a real, roofed home with a bathroom and usable floors, but the unfinished renovation, worn walls, and missing or incomplete kitchen mean it is a substantial project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 unfinished and needs renovation before comfortable full-time living.
- Walls show peeling plaster and damp-related staining; some ceilings expose unfinished brick and concrete work.
- The garden is currently overgrown, and a finished kitchen is not clearly 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.
The area around
Location score 52/100This is the inland Salento plain, with olive groves, vineyards and low limestone ground rather than relief. The Ionian coast around Gallipoli is the nearest sea within about 15 km. The nearest town of size is Gallipoli, which has a port, beaches and a historic centre on the old island town. The area is known for agriculture of the Salento interior, especially olives and wine.
