See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at a judicial auction, which carries legal and procedural risk. Price €42,700 plus estimated renovation €200/m² (50 m² → ≈€10,000) yields an effective cost of ≈€52,700, so mark as a trap due to the auction status.
More on the house and the area
Photos show genuine Puglian character (lamia/trulli, vaulted stone and a large paved courtyard with an empty pool and garage) and some usable interior rooms, which make this a charming bargain. However the interiors are dated, cluttered and the listing records no bathroom; it’s an auction lot so expect renovation work and careful legal checks before buying.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 sale — must verify tribunal paperwork and charges
- Listing shows 0 bathrooms — a bathroom may need to be installed or regularised
- Dated, cluttered interiors and empty pool — cleaning and renovation needed
- Mixed/unclear set of units (garage, apartment and lamia) — clarify exactly what is included
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.
