What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta', offerta minima €67,500), which is a veto red flag for foreign buyers and forces a trap rating regardless of apparent price. The house seems in decent/habitable condition, so I estimate about €200/m² renovation, but the auction status dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a usable, decent old town house rather than a fantasy Italian dream home. The exposed timber roof adds a little character, and at this price for 109 sqm it has some value appeal, but the interiors look plain and slightly cramped rather than beautiful. It seems genuinely habitable now, with kitchen, bathrooms and heating, yet the wow factor is limited.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- No proven exterior charm, view, terrace or garden in the photos.
- Interiors are livable but basic, with economical finishes and some cramped attic/basement spaces.
- Single outlook onto a shared courtyard limits light and romance.
- Auction sale: verify current condition and paperwork before bidding.
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 52/100The area is in the low hills and wooded belt north-west of Como near the Swiss border. The Lanza valley is the local landform, with mixed woodland, small fields and scattered settlements. Lake Como is outside the 15 km landscape radius, but the city of Como is the nearest major centre and provides the full range of services and rail links. Varese is also nearby for daily services. The area is known more for borderland commuter villages and prealpine woodland than for a single landmark site.
