At €69,000 plus an estimated €71,400 renovation budget, the effective cost is about €1,376/m²—over three times the local €419/m² benchmark. The garage, balcony, heating and mansarda add value, but the renovation burden makes this weakly priced.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old townhouse with balconies, shutters, arched details, a planted shared-looking courtyard and a garage. However, the interiors are clearly not move-in ready: they have bare concrete floors, severe wall deterioration and dated facilities, making this a substantial renovation project rather than a dream home today.
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€20,000 – €36,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Major renovation is needed, including damp-damaged walls, plaster and likely electrical/plumbing upgrades.
- No kitchen is visible, and the existing bathroom is very dated and cramped.
- The property is in a dense internal courtyard with no meaningful scenic view or private garden.
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 the north-west Milan plain in the Olona basin, a built-up and industrial-agricultural landscape continuous with the outer metropolitan area. The Olona River runs through the wider area, with the Parco del Roccolo and the Parco dei Mulini as the nearest green corridors. Legnano is the nearest larger town, with a full range of services and a substantial urban fabric, and Milan is part of daily life from here by rail and road.
