At €99,000 (€934/m²), plus roughly €74,200 for renovation, the effective cost is about €1,634/m²—nearly four times the local €419/m² benchmark. The brief listing does not state the bathroom count, energy class, or renovation details, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial two-story townhouse with a usable kitchen, living room, bedroom, fireplace, tiled floors, and an outdoor area. However, it has little visual charm or setting appeal, while the deteriorated exterior and severe ceiling damage in part of the house make it a renovation project rather than a ready dream home.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Significant renovation is needed, including extensive peeling plaster and apparent damp or mold damage to ceilings and walls.
- The exterior area is overgrown and neglected.
- The listing facts show zero bathrooms, despite a bathroom fixture appearing in the photos; this should be verified.
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 47/100The area lies in the lower Brianza and the western edge of the province of Como, with a settled belt of woods, fields and small towns rather than a single dominant landscape feature. The Lura valley and the Parco del Lura are nearby, with low wooded ground and paths along the stream corridor. Como is the nearest city of size, with rail services, the walled historic centre and the lakefront. Lake Como is beyond the 15 km radius, so it matters more for logistics than for the immediate setting. The area is known for dense small-town development between Como, Saronno and the Milan side of Lombardy.
