What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly markets the property through an auction specialist and mentions 'asta', so this must be treated as a judicial-auction listing. Even though the ask is only €57/m² versus a €187/m² baseline, the auction red flag vetoes the deal score.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic old-building character here: a few timber roofs, brick/stone details and the sense of a historic town palazzo. But the property is clearly in cantiere condition, cluttered and unfinished, so it reads as a major project rather than a beautiful ready-to-live Italian home. The huge size for the price is striking, yet the lived dream here is redevelopment more than immediate lifestyle appeal.
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€87,000 – €155,000
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 a construction-site interior, not move-in ready
- Photos suggest multiple units/fragmented layout rather than one finished home
- Outdoor space is a plain internal courtyard with limited charm
- Auction-style sale may require extra legal/technical checks
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.
