What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('asta immobiliare'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The description also says the buildings are in very poor condition and uninhabitable ('pessimo stato' and 'inagibili'), so despite the low asking price of €214/m² versus a €425/m² baseline, it is not a normal buyable livable home deal.
More on the house and the area
This is not a dreamy livable Italian home yet but a large distressed multi-unit project in a built-up village setting. The price per sqm looks striking, but the photos show severe deterioration, exposed interiors and roof failure, so condition drags the score down hard. There is a small garden area, but the current appeal is investment/speculation rather than immediate lifestyle wow.
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€158,000 – €234,000
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.
- Declared in very poor condition and inagibile in the listing
- Major structural decay visible, including collapsed/open roof sections
- No bathrooms shown and interiors appear unusable as living space
- Auction sale with documentation/condition risk
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.
