Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€908/m²), the asking price is already above the local comparison level of €766/m², while the apartment is described as being in used condition and needing personalization. Allowing roughly €53,000 for renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,608/m²; the listing does not specify the actual renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, well-kept apartment with a functional kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, balconies and cellar, and it appears move-in ready with mainly cosmetic updating needed. The polished dark terrazzo floors and generous rooms add some character, while the €69,000 price is attractive for 76 sqm. However, it is a conventional suburban apartment rather than a distinctly beautiful Italian dream home, with no standout view, garden or historic features.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Older 1964 apartment with dated finishes and furnishings.
- Second floor with no elevator.
- Central heating and €140/month condominium fees.
- No compelling landscape view or outdoor living space 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 30/100This is the eastern Milan plain, in a built-up belt of towns between the Martesana area and the Adda corridor. The Adda river and the Parco Adda Nord are within reach to the east, with riverside stretches, woods and historic industrial settlements around Trezzo sull’Adda and Vaprio d’Adda. Milan is the nearest major city, with the full range of services, rail connections, hospitals and cultural institutions. The area is known mainly for suburban and logistics development along the A4 corridor rather than for a distinct rural or scenic landscape.
