What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 for 93 m², substantial restoration would bring the effective cost to roughly €1,939/m², far above the local €352/m² reference. The listing describes only 70 m² as living space, with 40 m² of cellars whose conversion is merely a possibility, and it does not state the bathroom situation.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old farmhouse portion with traditional rooflines, shutters, and a small courtyard setting. However, it is presented as rooms to renovate, with no bathroom and no interior photos, so it is currently a project rather than a realistically livable home.
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€37,000 – €55,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is explicitly required.
- No bathroom is listed, and interiors are not shown.
- The property is in a tight shared courtyard with no meaningful view or private outdoor space.
- Roof, structure, utilities, and change-of-use feasibility for the cellar areas need verification.
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 42/100The area is in the eastern Brianza plain, with dense settlement, local roads and industrial and commercial zones between older town centres. The Adda river corridor lies nearby to the east, with the Parco Adda Nord around stretches of the river and the Leonardo ferry at Imbersago within reach of the area. Monza is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre and the Villa Reale and park. Milan is part of daily life for services and work, but the immediate surroundings are mainly suburban Lombard plain rather than a distinct rural or mountain landscape.
