At €80,000 for roughly 290 m², the purchase price is €276/m², already above the local €160/m² benchmark. The listing presents it as a development and reconversion project, so estimated total costs reach about €1,376/m²; it also gives conflicting surface figures (260 versus 290 m²) and does not state whether it is currently habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old Lombard cascina with a generous internal courtyard and approximately 300 sqm of garden, plus attractive original shutters, brickwork, and farmhouse details. However, the property is substantially deteriorated: interiors are bare, services are not evident, and part of the outbuilding has a severely damaged roof, making it a major project rather than a realistically livable home.
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€115,000 – €170,000
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.
- Major renovation or redevelopment appears necessary, including the visibly damaged/partly collapsed roof structure.
- Interiors are empty and deteriorated, with no bathrooms, kitchen, or bedrooms shown.
- The listing is explicitly marketed as a development/conversion opportunity rather than a ready home.
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 38/100Monza sits in the built-up Milan–Brianza plain, on the Lambro river. The main local landscape feature is the Parco di Monza, the large historic park around the Villa Reale inside the urban area. Milan is the nearest major city and is part of the same continuous metropolitan fabric, with full city services and rail links. The area is known for the Autodromo Nazionale Monza inside the park.
