At €59,000 (€381/m²), this is explicitly a non-habitable deposit/magazzino, not a dwelling. Residential use is only a possibility subject to a feasibility study, with substantial conversion and renovation work required.
More on the house and the area
The property has some authentic character, especially the exposed timber roof structure, old shutters and traditional tiled roof, plus a sunny terrace within a dense courtyard setting. However, the photos show a severely rough storage building rather than a usable house: raw and dirty interiors, deteriorated ceilings, minimal sanitary facilities and substantial conversion work are all evident.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€61,000 – €91,000
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.
- Currently non-habitable storage/deposit space, not a home.
- Major renovation and formal change-of-use approval would be required.
- Roof structure and interiors appear deteriorated, with raw floors, poor finishes and an extremely basic bathroom.
- No parking or garage is included.
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 26/100The area is in the north-western Milan urban belt, with continuous residential, commercial and industrial fabric between Legnano, Castellanza, Busto Arsizio and Saronno. The Olona valley is the nearest natural corridor, but here it is heavily settled and mixed with roads and business areas. The nearest larger town is Legnano, which has a substantial built-up centre, services, rail links and the Visconti castle. Milan and Malpensa are important for access but lie outside the immediate landscape and do not change the setting.
