In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 117 m² townhouse is explicitly sold through a judicial auction, making it unsuitable for a straightforward home purchase despite its €99,825 price, garage and garden. At €853/m² before estimated habitable-property costs, the auction and procedural risks dominate the deal assessment.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, apparently habitable three-level townhouse with a leafy private garden, garage, fitted kitchen, bedroom, and usable bathrooms. The garden is the main appeal, but the house itself is ordinary rather than distinctive, and the dated, cluttered presentation keeps it well below dream-home territory.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Auction purchase involves additional legal, timing, and occupancy due diligence.
- Interiors are functional but dated and cluttered, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- The attic-level bathroom appears improvised, and the listing's bathroom count is inconsistent.
- No notable view or historic character is shown.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Brianza-Comasco lake-and-hill belt, with the Prealps rising to the north. Lake Pusiano lies within the area, and Lake Alserio is also nearby. The Lambro basin shapes the local low hills, woods and settled valleys. The area falls inside the Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, and the lakes and wetlands around Alserio and Pusiano are part of the protected system of the northern Brianza lakes. Como is the nearest city of size, with rail services, a walled historic centre and the south-western branch of Lake Como beyond the 15 km radius. The area is known for its small lakes, wooded moraine hills and heavily settled Brianza landscape.
