See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The description also contradicts the the listing condition: instead of renovated, it reports dated finishes, localized decay and a roof needing full replacement, implying roughly €700/m² renovation on top of the €653/m² asking level.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable family townhouse with generous space, a small private garden and a bright double-height living area. The condition is livable but only middling: interiors are dated, and the exterior/roof need meaningful maintenance. It feels practical rather than dreamy, with little photographic wow from the setting or architecture.
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€27,000 – €49,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes need updating.
- Exterior shows neglect with peeling render and worn balcony/fixtures.
- Flat roof waterproofing is reportedly degraded and may need full replacement.
- Peripheral, medium-low residential setting with no special view or character.
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 31/100The area sits on the upper Lombard plain in the continuous built-up belt between Milan, Monza, Saronno and Como, with dense urban fabric, roads and rail lines as the dominant setting. 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.
