Although the advertised price is only €94/m² for 327 m², the description explicitly identifies this as a judicial auction (“asta immobiliare”), with mixed residential and commercial cadastral units. Auction purchases carry legal, financing, occupancy, and documentation risks that override the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This large urban Puglian property has appealing historic vaulted ceilings, decorative details, balconies, and a surprisingly attractive café-style interior. It appears substantially usable rather than a ruin, but it is a mixed residential-commercial building with dated finishes, rough utility areas, and no obvious private garden or view.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Auction purchase with potential legal, occupancy, and financing complexities.
- The property appears partly configured as a commercial café rather than a straightforward home.
- Interiors are usable but dated, cluttered, and some service areas/courtyard need refurbishment.
- The listing records zero bathrooms, so the residential layout and facilities require verification.
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

Canosa is known for its extensive Roman and pre-Roman archaeological remains, especially hypogea and other ancient funerary monuments.
