At €35,000 (€636/m²), this 55 m² space is explicitly marketed as a box, warehouse or workshop rather than a home, with no bathrooms listed. It should not be treated as a legally habitable dwelling without confirmed residential use and conversion feasibility.
More on the house and the area
The old brick farm-court setting, greenery and long tiled roofs have some rustic character from the outside. However, the property is an unfinished two-level storage/workshop space with no bathroom and no livable interior shown, so it is a renovation project rather than a realistic cheap 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€11,000 – €20,000
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 bathroom is shown or listed, and the interiors appear largely unfinished and non-habitable.
- The courtyard and access appear shared rather than a 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 northwestern edge of the Milan built-up area, in the flat Po plain. The Olona river passes through Rho, and the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano begins farther south while the Parco del Roccolo and other local agricultural parks lie in the wider plain to the west. Milan is the nearest major city and provides the full metropolitan range of services, rail links, universities, hospitals and major cultural sites. The area is known nationally for the Fiera Milano exhibition complex at Rho and for dense transport and logistics infrastructure rather than for a distinctive landscape.
