See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction property, with the listing explicitly referring to Tribunale and an auction purchase process, so it fails the catalog’s safety threshold despite the €323/m² asking price. The 167 m² home is described as habitable, but the attic is only usable as storage and not legally habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 167 sqm habitable townhouse at an attractive €54,000, with two living floors, two bathrooms, balconies, a fireplace, and storage space. However, the photos are expressly non-representative, so there is no reliable visual proof of the home's beauty, condition, or setting; it reads more as a strong-value practical property than a dream Italian home.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- The listing explicitly says the photos are illustrative and not the actual property, so the apparent modern finishes and facade cannot be relied upon.
- Auction purchase involves legal, inspection, and occupancy risks that need verification.
- The attic is usable only as storage, not as habitable space; energy class G may mean higher running costs.
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 88/100Lake Como is at the town, with the southwest arm and its steep pre-Alpine slopes defining the immediate setting. The Spina Verde Regional Park lies just west of Como on the border ridge above the city. The nearest substantial town is Como itself, which has a walled historic centre, the cathedral, lakefront ferries and rail links to Milan and Switzerland. Brunate sits above the town and is linked by the funicular. The area is known for the lake landscape and for villas and historic settlements along the shore.
