What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,023/m², the asking price is 43% above the Puglia townhouse baseline of €714/m²; the historic-center location adds some value. The recent residential change of use is positive, but condition and key technical details are missing, so the effective price remains only moderately attractive.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric historic-center home with beautiful exposed stone, barrel vaults, traditional floors, and a private internal courtyard leading to a large rooftop terrace. It appears substantially renovated and usable, including bathrooms and services, though the unusual former-commercial layout and signs of damp keep it below true dream-home territory.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 layout appears unconventional, with several low-ceiling vaulted spaces and limited evidence of conventional bedrooms.
- Some courtyard walls show damp staining, and the rooftop pergola/terrace appears unfinished.
- Confirm residential compliance, utilities, ventilation, and whether the commercial-style kitchen is included or must be adapted.
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.
