Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,500/m² before any works, this €60,000 studio is nearly twice the €766/m² local comparison level, making it expensive despite its central location and cellar. The listing does not say whether the apartment is renovated or immediately habitable, so a modest €200/m² allowance is prudent.
More on the house and the area
The building has attractive historic decorative detailing around its windows and door, giving the street façade genuine character. Inside, this is a small but functioning 40 sqm studio with kitchen, bathroom, heating and furnishings, though it feels utilitarian rather than dreamlike and needs cosmetic refreshing.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Ground-floor unit directly on a public street, with limited privacy and no visible outdoor living space.
- Interior is compact and basic, with dated finishes and noticeable exterior paint deterioration.
- The listing does not show the cellar or clarify the condition of the building systems.
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 21/100The area is on the upper Po plain in the built-up belt between Saronno and the north-west edge of Milan, with flat lowland, roads, warehouses and suburban development as the dominant setting. The nearest town of size is Saronno, which has a historic centre and rail connections; Legnano, Busto Arsizio, Rho and Milan are also part of the wider daily orbit. The Olona valley is nearby but in this stretch it does not create a strong landscape feature. This part of Lombardy is known more for industry, logistics and commuting than for a distinct rural or natural landscape.
