At €53,030 for 108 m², the price is €491/m²; allowing about €200/m² for a habitable home gives an effective cost near €691/m², well above the local €420/m² benchmark. The garage, cellar, heating and 18 photos are positives, but the listing does not state the bathroom count or energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, usable 108 m² townhouse with three bedrooms, a kitchen, heating, garage, cellar, and a private rear garden. Its main appeal is solid everyday livability and the 25% auction discount, not exceptional beauty, views, or historic character.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Auction purchase requires careful review of the appraisal, occupancy status, and procedure.
- The property is described as habitable and in good condition, but the systems must be verified and certified if necessary.
- No actual interior or exterior property photos are provided, so visual appeal and garden quality cannot be confirmed.
- The setting is a conventional residential area in Desio rather than a scenic or historic Italian location.
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

The Groane Regional Park lies partly within and around Cesano Maderno, with heathland, pine woods and former sand and clay quarry landscapes. The nearest larger centres are Monza and Milan, which provide the full range of services, rail links and major employment. This part of Brianza is known for furniture and small industry.
