This habitable 150 m² townhouse at €79,000 becomes approximately €109,000 after allowing €30,000 for modernization, or €727/m²—well above the local €406/m² reference. Its independent layout, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and outdoor parking add practical value, but the price is not discounted.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely habitable five-room townhouse with two bathrooms, heating, tiled floors and a practical two-level layout. It has little visual drama—no notable views, garden, or distinctive historic features—and the interiors need cosmetic modernization, but €79,000 for 150 sqm gives it real budget appeal.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors, especially the extensive wood paneling and old tile finishes.
- The photos show a functional but very basic kitchen/laundry area; modernization would improve livability.
- Energy class is not provided, and the home’s heating efficiency is unclear.
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 41/100The area lies in the upper Po plain between the Ticino valley and the Varese-Gallarate urban belt. The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino are within about 15 km to the west, with woodland, heath and river terraces. Lake Maggiore is farther away and does not define the immediate surroundings. The nearest larger towns are Gallarate and Busto Arsizio, which provide rail links, services and commercial areas. Milan Malpensa Airport is very close and is a significant part of the wider setting. This part of the province is known more for transport corridors, dispersed industry and woodland patches than for a singular historic or scenic landmark.
