What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€500/m²), the house is below the €678/m² baseline, but its stated renovation need adds an estimated €84,000, bringing effective cost to about €1,200/m²—well above the baseline. Central location and 32 photos help, but the renovation burden makes this a weak value rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, functioning 120 sqm home with a kitchen, bathroom, multiple rooms, traditional tiled floors, and a leafy courtyard garden. It is not a ruin, but the dated interiors, exterior cracking, neglected outbuilding, and overgrown garden make it a renovation project rather than a ready-made 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€24,000 – €42,000
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 house is explicitly described as needing renovation, with visible damp staining, wall cracks, worn finishes, and an overgrown garden.
- Interiors are dated and heavily furnished; modernization of the kitchen, bathroom, heating, and electrical systems may be needed.
- The courtyard appears shared at the entrance, while the private garden/outbuilding needs substantial clearing and repair.
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 53/100The area lies on the Salento plain in the Grecia Salentina zone, with olive groves and flat to gently undulating farmland. The Adriatic coast is reached at Torre dell'Orso and Otranto beyond the 15 km radius, so it does not define the immediate landscape. Maglie is the nearest larger town and has the main local services and rail connections; Lecce is the main city for the area. Corigliano d'Otranto is known for Griko culture and for its historic centre and castle.
