At €480/m² it looks cheap upfront, but complete renovation at roughly €1,100/m² brings the estimated effective cost to about €1,580/m² for the 100m² dwelling, well above the local €643/m² benchmark. The independent house, courtyard and 100m² garage add value, but the extensive works and G energy rating make this a fair rather than strong deal.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine historic appeal: an elegant old Puglian facade, original doors, patterned floors and especially dramatic vaulted interiors. However, it is clearly a full renovation project rather than a usable home today, with neglected finishes and a visibly deteriorated service area; the large garage and courtyard add useful potential.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Complete renovation required, including plumbing, electrical systems, finishes and likely bathroom/kitchen installation.
- Visible damp, peeling plaster and deteriorated interior surfaces need investigation and repair.
- The property is on a street with a private internal courtyard, but there is no notable landscape view or garden.
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.
