How did you arrive at the 30 to 40 thousand euro figure

From a friend of mine who built a house in Southern Italy some years ago.

You can also find numbers on the Internet, see basic construction cost in Bulgaria here: https://arch-pfoertner.com/en/blog/bulgaria-vs-spain-building-costs

I'm assuming labour cost is still pretty low in Southern Italy, because in North/Western Europe you can have a kitchen and a bathroom renovated for that money, but no way build an entire house.

Just a bathroom for $40k in Australia.
