What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 for 88 sqm, the ask is €773/sqm, but the listing says completely to restore, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation; effective cost is roughly €1,873/sqm. That is far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €406/sqm, so despite the decent station location and clear description/photos, this looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical Lombard courtyard townhouse rather than a dream-home listing. The main rooms are enclosed and basically house-shaped, but the property clearly needs full renovation, and the rough upper spaces look significantly deteriorated. At the price it has some bargain appeal, but the wow factor is low.
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€35,000 – €51,000
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.

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 34/100The area lies on the northern edge of the upper Po plain in the built-up belt between Saronno and the southern Comasco, with the first Prealpine relief farther north rather than inside the immediate surroundings. The Lura valley park system runs through this part of the province, with wooded strips and farmland between towns. Saronno is the nearest larger town and provides rail links, shops and services. Como and the branch of Lake Como are reachable for daily life but are outside the immediate 15 km landscape, so they do not define the setting here.
