See what needs doing and what each job costs
With a €75,000 asking price plus an estimated €200/m² refit (€23,000) the effective cost is ~€98,000 or ~€852/m². That is about 21% above the regional median of €706/m² for similar homes despite the strong historic-center location and many photos, so the price looks weak for the market.
More on the house and the area
A bright, characterful three‑storey townhome in Altamura with vaulted ceilings, decorative cornices and solid marble stairs — immediately liveable but in need of cosmetic modernisation (bathroom/kitchen). Its rare piazza frontage gives unusually open light and a pleasant view for a centro storico house; at €75k this is a clear bargain for someone wanting a ready-to-live-in historic home or a split rental/B&B conversion.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are dated — bathroom and finishes need modernising (no modern kitchen shown).
- Fronts onto a piazza — great light and view but potential street/noise exposure.
- Energy certificate/utility details not provided; expect typical upgrades (windows, wiring) in an older centre-house.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Altamura, so the resident setting is urban rather than open countryside. The Murge plateau surrounds the town, with limestone upland, fields and karst terrain typical of the Alta Murgia. Alta Murgia National Park lies immediately around Altamura and includes steppe-like pasture, sinkholes and ravines. Gravina in Puglia is nearby and has a historic centre on the edge of a ravine. Altamura is known for its stone-built old centre and for Pane di Altamura PDO.
