Listed at €28,000 with an estimated €700/m² renovation (80 m² → €56,000), effective cost ≈ €84,000 or ≈ €1,050/m². That is about 64% above the local median €640/m², so it looks overpriced once full renovation is included.
More on the house and the area
A compact town terraced house with high ceilings, original terrazzo floors, a fireplace, small internal courtyard and a useful roof terrace. Structurally roofed and clearly habitable after renovation, but photos show water damage and falling plaster so expect a complete refurbishment. Good bargain for a DIY project in Puglia, not move-in ready.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Needs full renovation — ceilings, plaster and finishes damaged
- Bathroom and some fixtures are degraded and will need replacement
- Likely full electrical/plumbing update required
- No scenic view; town-centre location
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.
