Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 for 52 m², the effective cost is about €2,123/m² after a modest €200/m² allowance, far above comparable local stock around €767/m². The apartment appears usable and includes a garage, balcony and heating, but the listing does not state its condition or building age, so the high price is not justified by the available information.
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 – €6,000
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.
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 51/100This is the Brianza belt north of Milan, with a built-up mix of towns, villas, local industry and remaining parkland. The Lambro river runs through the area, and the Valle del Lambro Regional Park covers Carate Brianza and neighbouring communes. Monza is the nearest larger town, with the royal park and the Villa Reale. Lake Como and the first Prealps are farther north and matter more for outings than for the immediate landscape. Brianza is known for furniture-making and small manufacturing.
