See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €29,000 asking price is attractive at €312/m², but the house requires renovation; estimating €700/m² puts the effective cost near €94,000, or about €1,012/m² versus a €646 local benchmark. The facts state 93 m² while the description says 79 m², which should be verified before purchase.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid-looking Puglian town house with attractive vaulted ceilings, traditional terrazzo floors, and a genuinely usable 79 sqm layout including a bathroom and multiple rooms. However, it is clearly an empty renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home, with dated fittings, unfinished surfaces, and possible moisture issues.
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€18,000 – €33,000
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.
- Requires substantial renovation before move-in, including finishes, systems, and likely kitchen work.
- Visible damp staining and worn surfaces should be investigated carefully.
- No garden, terrace, or scenic view is shown; the home is on a built-up street.
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.
