What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly identifies the property as two magazzini (warehouses) to renovate, not a legally habitable dwelling, despite the catalog type saying farmhouse. At €423/m² before renovation and an estimated €1,100/m² restoration cost, it is not a viable home deal without confirmed residential conversion.
More on the house and the area
The exposed brickwork, old timber framing, tiled roofs, and small overgrown plot offer some authentic farmhouse character. However, this is fundamentally a pair of storage buildings requiring substantial conversion, with no demonstrated living spaces or basic residential facilities, so it is a project rather than a dream-ready 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.
- This is explicitly two warehouses to renovate, not a finished or currently habitable home.
- Photos show storage interiors with rough floors, clutter, deteriorated finishes, and extensive renovation needs.
- No bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, or livability are documented; conversion and planning approval would need verification.
- The garden/outdoor area is overgrown and includes visibly dilapidated auxiliary structures.
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 47/100The area sits on the Brianza hills between Como and the Milan plain, with a built landscape of towns, roads and small wooded rises rather than open countryside. Lake Como begins at Como, about 10 km away, but Cantù itself is inland on the hill belt and not on the lakeshore. The nearest larger towns are Como, with rail links, services and the walled historic centre, and the wider Monza-Brianza-Milan urban area to the south. This part of Brianza is known for furniture and wood-working manufacturing.
