What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is an auction listing for 400 m² explicitly described as inagibile and in pessimo stato di conservazione, despite the low €214/m² asking price. The €416/m² baseline is irrelevant because auction and habitability risks trigger a veto.
More on the house and the area
The 400 sqm complex has some potential, with a small overgrown garden, traditional tiled roofs, and a central town location. However, the photos show a genuine ruin with damaged roofs, exposed masonry, empty interiors, and no evidence of a livable home, so this is a major redevelopment project rather than a dream-ready Italian house.
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.
- The property is explicitly described as unusable and in very poor condition.
- Major structural and roof reconstruction appears necessary; some sections are open to the elements.
- No bathrooms are listed, and auction/legal documentation plus restoration costs require careful review.
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.
