Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €98,000 (624€/m²) and estimated light renovation €200/m² → renovation €31,400, effective price ≈€129,400 (≈824€/m²), about 27% above the regional median of 647€/m². Plenty of photos and a central town location (17 km from the sea) mean it’s usable, but it’s not a bargain after renovation.
More on the house and the area
High, vaulted rooms, marble stair and a big fireplace give this town house real character; the layout, two bathrooms and working boiler mean it’s a usable home now. Would benefit from cosmetic updating to the kitchen, bathrooms and finishes, but it’s a charming, liveable property with a terrace.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Dated finishes and fixtures — cosmetic renovation advised
- Kitchen and bathrooms are small and older
- Street‑front townhouse with no private garden (terrace only)
- Some peeling paint/damp patches visible in photos
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 57/100The area is on the Murge plateau, with open agricultural land of olive groves, arable fields and low karst limestone relief. Alta Murgia National Park begins nearby to the south-west and west, with steppe-like pasture, sinkholes and rock outcrops typical of the interior around Altamura and Gravina. The Adriatic coast is not far away, but Palo del Colle is inland and not in a coastal setting. Bari is the nearest large city, with full services, rail links, port and airport. Bitonto nearby has a substantial historic centre and Romanesque cathedral. The wider area is known for olive oil, almonds and other dry-farmed produce of the Bari and Murgia hinterland.
