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 explicitly a judicial auction ('asta immobiliare') and the description says the buildings are in very poor condition and uninhabitable ('pessimo stato di conservazione ed inagibili'), which is an immediate veto for this catalog. Even before auction risk, the implied effective cost is about €1,314/m² (€214/m² price + ~€1,100/m² restoration), far above the €425/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
The only real appeal here is the size-for-price and central village location. But the photos show a severely degraded multi-unit property with collapsed/failed roof sections, stripped interiors, and unsafe access, so this is a redevelopment project rather than a home. It does not read as a beautiful, usable Italian house to dream of living in today.
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.
- Explicitly described as in very poor condition and uninhabitable
- Major structural deterioration with partially open/collapsing roof areas
- No bathroom shown and interiors appear raw, unsafe, and unusable
- Auction sale: documentation, occupancy, and legal status need careful checking
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.
