Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €36,386 starting price (€298/m²) is far below the local €760/m² reference, but this is a judicial auction rather than a normal purchase, with procedural, financing and occupancy risks. The listing also gives no condition or energy details, and the facts conflict with the description, which states two bathrooms while the summary reports none.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely usable three-bedroom apartment with multiple balconies, a garage, and a cellar; the kitchen and living room appear functional rather than derelict. However, it is a plain older apartment block with dated finishes and no distinctive historic character or proven scenic view, so the low price is its main appeal.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €43,000
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.
- Judicial-auction purchase with extra procedural, legal, and financial complexity.
- Interiors appear dated and would likely need cosmetic updating.
- The apartment faces a busy urban street, and no notable landscape view is 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 68/100The area lies in the lakes-and-hills belt of northern Varese between Lake Maggiore and the first Prealpine ridges. Lake Maggiore is within about 10 km to the west, and Lake Varese lies to the south-east. The Campo dei Fiori massif and the Varese Prealps are nearby, with the Parco Regionale Campo dei Fiori within reach to the east. The nearest ski lifts are the small lifts around the Forcora area above Maccagno, roughly an hour’s drive, which is outside the immediate landscape. The nearest town of size is Varese, which has a full range of services, rail links and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for a mix of wooded hills, small lakes, and access to the Maggiore shore towns such as Laveno-Mombello.
