Unfinished 'rustico' with works started — I estimate renovation about €1,100/m2 so effective cost ≈ €135k (~€2,286/m2) vs the regional baseline €700/m2. The listing text says 100m2 while the data shows 59m2 and omits condition and energy class, so the price looks overpriced and the listing has data issues.
More on the house and the area
Authentic corner townhouse in an old Altamura street with original shutters and exposed stone — good historic character. However the interior is a clear unfinished shell (rustico) requiring a full renovation, so it's a project rather than a move-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €35,000
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.
- Property sold 'a rustico' with works only partially started — interior is an unfinished shell (no finished floors, bathrooms or kitchen).
- Visible damping/peeling plaster and patch repairs on façade — expect masonry and plaster work.
- Check utilities, structural condition and access in the narrow historic street before buying.
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.
