In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 (€773/m²), the effective cost is about €103,000, or €1,373/m² after allowing for the two upper floors described as needing renovation—nearly double the local €700/m² benchmark. The renovated ground floor, terrace, fireplace, and historic-center location add appeal, but the listing’s “habitable” label understates the substantial unfinished area.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Putignano townhouse with beautiful vaulted limestone ceilings, original chianche floors, warm traditional detailing, and a dramatic view toward the historic church tower and rooftops. The ground floor is furnished, equipped with a kitchen and bathroom, and appears genuinely habitable, while the upper levels offer substantial character and potential but need renovation.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Only the ground-floor unit appears renovated and ready to use; the upper floors require renovation.
- The property is distributed over multiple levels, with stairs and a narrow historic-center setting.
- The terrace is accessed via additional steps and its condition is not fully 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 77/100The area sits on the Murge karst plateau, with rolling limestone countryside, dry-stone walls, vineyards, olive groves and scattered trulli. It is close to the Valle d’Itria landscape around Alberobello, Locorotondo and Martina Franca, which begins within this radius. Putignano itself is a substantial town with services and a historic center, and larger towns nearby include Monopoli on the Adriatic coast and Conversano inland. Alberobello, within reach of the cluster, is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its concentration of trulli. The area is known for trulli, karst terrain and mixed agricultural countryside typical of central Puglia.
