This is a judicial auction listing (Tribunale) and the description says two external rooms are abusive and not regularizable, with listing photos only indicative. At €54,945 plus estimated €20,200 renovation (101 m2 × €200) the effective price is ~€75,145 (~€744/m2) vs regional median €700/m2, so legal risk outweighs the price.
More on the house and the area
The listing photos include glossy, contemporary living areas and a modern bathroom that look move-in ready and stylish. However another image shows an evidently ruined bedroom and the description warns of non-sanable external rooms — expect mixed condition and legal issues, so verify which photos match the actual unit before bidding.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Listing states images may be indicative and not the real photos of this unit
- One photo shows a dark, derelict bedroom — parts of the property may be in poor condition
- Description notes two external, abusive (illegal) rooms (laundry/storage) that are not sanable
- No clear private outdoor space or scenic view shown
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 42/100The area is on the inland side of the Bari plain, with flat to gently rolling agricultural land dominated by olive groves, vineyards and arable fields. The Adriatic coast is the nearest major natural feature, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Bari is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, rail links, port and airport. The area is known for Apulian agricultural production, especially olives, grapes and related food processing.
