What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€608/m²), this 130 m² townhouse requires total renovation, estimated at about €1,100/m², giving an effective cost near €1,708/m² versus the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m². The description mentions a bathroom while the facts list 0 baths, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A solid, substantial townhouse with a useful balcony, garage and courtyard access, but the setting and architecture are quite ordinary. The house appears structurally complete and potentially usable, yet its dated finishes and stated need for total renovation make it a project rather than an immediately dream-worthy Italian 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€51,000 – €76,000
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.
- Advertised as totally needing renovation, despite having existing kitchen, bathroom, floors and utilities visible.
- Very dated interiors and exterior; likely requires substantial updating rather than a light refresh.
- Shared courtyard and close neighboring buildings limit privacy; no compelling landscape or town views are 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 39/100The area is the north-western Lombard plain between the Ticino river and the lower Olona valley, with dense settlement and main road and rail corridors. The Ticino valley and Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie nearby, with woodland, river terraces and canals. Milan is the nearest major city, with the full range of services, and Malpensa airport is close to the west. The area is known historically for industry and logistics rather than for a distinct rural or monumental landscape.
