See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale di Bari) — auction purchases carry legal and procedural risks. Treating the property as 'habitable' (€200/m²) gives an effective price of €118,084 (~€590/m²) versus the local median €516/m², and the ad warns the photos are indicative and the surface is an estimate.
More on the house and the area
Some photos show a stylish, move-in-ready interior (modern open-plan kitchen/living and a bright bathroom) while another image reveals a rough, bare bedroom with old floors — suggesting mixed condition. The building/exterior shots show attractive historic facades and the price plus large area make it a clear bargain, but you must verify the real-state of the unit and the official perizia before proceeding.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Several listing images are stated as indicative and may not show the actual property — verify real photos/planimetry.
- Photos show inconsistent condition: some rooms look fully renovated while one bedroom appears rough and in need of repair.
- Confirm utilities, exact layout and the presence/size of the advertised adjoining land in the perizia before bidding.
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.

Alberobello, with its UNESCO trulli districts, is nearby and the wider area overlaps the Valle d’Itria landscape known for trulli, masserie and limestone rural settlement.
