See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly markets the property through an auction-focused company ('specializzati in aste') and includes a 47 sqm 'deposito annesso' / 'locale magazzino', while the main 161 sqm rustico has no systems and needs full renovation with roof and safety works. At €53,900 plus roughly €177,100 renovation (~€1,430/m² effective vs €187/m² baseline), this is not a livable-value buy for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
There is some old-borgo character here: an arched passage, aged plaster, fireplaces and traditional volumes in the historic center. But this is clearly a project rather than a livable home, with stripped interiors, no functioning services, and visible deterioration that points to a full renovation plus safety works. The price is very low for the size, yet the current wow is limited because condition drags it down hard.
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€64,000 – €94,000
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.

The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster sits in the Brianza foothills below the Triangolo Lariano, with the pre-Alps rising immediately to the north around Monte Bollettone and the ridge toward the Corni di Canzo. Lake Alserio is within the local area, and the south-western arm of Lake Como begins at Como a short distance away. The area is tied to the Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, and the Corni di Canzo and nearby ridges are a well-known local hiking zone. The nearest town of size is Como, with a walled historic centre, rail links and the main services of the province. The area is known for small pre-Alpine lakes, woodland slopes and access from the Brianza plain into the Lake Como and Triangolo Lariano hill country.
