What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €99,000 asking price becomes roughly €233,000 after estimating €1,100/m² for the complete renovation, including the roof—about €1,912/m² effective. That is far above the local €356/m² reference, and the listing does not state the energy class or construction year.
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€48,000 – €71,000
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.
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 62/100The area sits in the Brianza hills, with low wooded ridges and built-up villages alternating with fields and small valleys. Montevecchia and the Curone valley are within reach, with the Parco regionale di Montevecchia e della Valle del Curone covering a hill landscape of woods, terraces and rural hamlets. The nearest larger towns are Merate and Lecco; Lecco has full city services on the branch of Lake Como at the foot of the Prealps. Milan is the main employment and transport centre for the area.
