At €58,000 (€630/m²), this is currently three storage and garage units rather than a legal dwelling, with no bedrooms or bathrooms. Residential conversion is only a possibility subject to urban-planning and health approvals; including roughly €1,100/m² of conversion work, the effective cost is about €1,730/m², far above the local €352/m² reference.
More on the house and the area
This is a compact former courtyard workshop complex with some appealing old roof timber, shutters, and a traditional cobbled setting. However, the photos show garages and raw storage rooms rather than a usable home: there are concrete floors, unfinished interiors, no bathroom or kitchen, and no confirmed residential use. It is a renovation/conversion project, not a move-in Italian house.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €54,000
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.

- Currently registered as deposits and garages, not a residential home.
- No bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, or finished living space are shown.
- A residential conversion requires urban-planning, building, and sanitary approvals; feasibility is not guaranteed.
- Shared courtyard setting, low ceilings, rough interiors, and extensive renovation work may limit the final layout.
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.
