At €17,250 for 40 m², estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,131/m², well above the local sub-€100k apartment benchmark of €766/m². The two-level unit needs renovation, and the listing does not say whether it has a bathroom, energy rating, or construction year.
More on the house and the area
This is a severely deteriorated two-level unit in an ordinary internal courtyard, with no visible scenic setting or standout historic character. The ground floor contains rubble and exposed masonry, the upper level was unsafe to inspect, and the property lacks systems and a bathroom, making it a major reconstruction project rather than a livable cheap home.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 31/100This is in the built-up belt north-west of Milan, with the Groane heath-and-pinewoods area immediately around it; Parco delle Groane is the main local landscape feature within reach. The area is largely suburban and industrial-residential, with continuous settlement toward Saronno and the Milan conurbation. Saronno is the nearest larger town and provides rail links, services and a historic centre. Milan is the main city for work, transport and amenities, but it does not improve the landscape score because the cluster lies in its outer urban belt.
