What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The home is 75,000 EUR for 124 sqm (605 EUR/sqm), but it is explicitly da ultimare, with finishes, systems and windows still to be completed, so I estimate about 700 EUR/sqm renovation. That brings the effective cost to about 1,305 EUR/sqm versus a 538 EUR/sqm baseline for Lombardia country houses, which looks weak rather than discounted.
More on the house and the area
This has practical appeal rather than dream-home wow: a decent amount of private land and a very low price for 124 sqm. But the house is explicitly unfinished, and with no interior photos it reads as a project rather than a ready home. The courtyard setting and plain exterior add little visual romance.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €44,000
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.
- Property is unfinished: installations, windows and finishes still need completing.
- Interiors are not shown, so current livability is unproven.
- External space is modest in front of the house and the garden appears enclosed within a courtyard context.
- Exterior is plain and not especially characterful or scenic.
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 34/100The area lies in the upper Po plain between the Ticino valley and the built-up belt around Busto Arsizio and Gallarate. The Ticino river is nearby, with the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino covering woods, heath and river terraces along this stretch. Milan Malpensa airport is in the immediate area, and the nearest larger towns are Gallarate and Busto Arsizio, which provide the main services, rail links and shopping. This part of the province is known more for transport infrastructure and dispersed industry than for a singular historic or scenic landscape.
