What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a completely to-be-restored 100 sqm property in central Mariano Comense: at €75,000 asking plus about €110,000 renovation (€1,100/sqm), the effective cost is roughly €1,850/sqm. That is far above the very low baseline of €383/sqm for sub-€100k farmhouses in Lombardia, so despite the central location and 20 photos, it looks weak value unless the post-renovation upside is exceptional.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic old-courtyard character here, especially in the terracotta-floored rooms and the private corte setting. But the real condition is a major limiter: much of the house is very dated or bare and the listing itself says it is completely to be renovated. At €75k for 100 sqm it has project appeal, not dream-home wow as it stands.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; currently not a ready-to-live home.
- Several rooms are stripped or very dated, with only basic finishes and old surfaces.
- No exterior, view, garden or terrace is shown in the photos.
- Access is via a shared stair/courtyard setup, so privacy may be limited.
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 53/100The area sits in the Brianza hill belt between Como and the Milan plain, with built-up towns, wooded patches and cultivated land. Lake Como is nearby, with the southern branches around Como and Lecco roughly within 15 km. The nearest larger town is Como, which has the walled historic centre, the cathedral, rail links and services. This part of Brianza is known for furniture making and small-industry districts rather than for a single protected landscape or isolated rural setting.
