See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly promotes a telematic judicial auction and pre-auction purchase, which is a major legal and transaction-risk red flag. Although the headline price is €626/m², incomplete finishing works could raise the effective cost to roughly €926/m², above the local €762/m² reference.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 150 sqm home in a traditional historic courtyard setting, with a potentially attractive private garden and a solid roofed structure. However, the interior is clearly mid-renovation rather than move-in ready: finishes, services and likely the kitchen are incomplete, so it is a renovation project despite the habitable classification.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€15,000 – €25,000
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 property is being sold through a pre-auction/auction process, requiring careful legal and procedural checks.
- Interior works are incomplete, with unfinished walls, exposed wiring and stored construction materials.
- No finished kitchen is shown, and the bathroom appears only partially completed; substantial finishing work is likely needed.
- The 218 sqm garden looks overgrown and will require clearing and landscaping.
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 38/100The area is on the Brianza plain between Milan and Como, with continuous settlement, local roads and industry mixed with housing. The Seveso river corridor runs nearby, and the Groane regional park lies just to the west with heathland, pine woods and former clay quarry landscapes. Como and Milan are the nearest major cities for services and rail connections.
