In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€1,145/m²), this habitable 69 m² townhouse is priced well above comparable Puglia stock at about €700/m²; allowing roughly €13,800 for normal updates brings the effective cost near €1,345/m². Its independent layout, balcony, terrace and central location are positives, but they do not fully justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A bright, highly personal townhouse with a polished, fully fitted interior, colorful design, a real kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and heating. It looks genuinely habitable rather than a renovation project, with the private terrace adding valuable outdoor space, although there is no proven scenic view or standout historic character.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 home is compact, with a somewhat narrow layout and modest-sized bedrooms.
- The private outdoor terrace appears useful but small and urban rather than scenic.
- Energy performance and any major systems updates are not documented.
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.
