At €49,000 plus an estimated €61,600 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,257/m²—far above the €380/m² local comparison level. The house is explicitly described as needing renovation, while its building age and energy performance are not stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional Lombardy farmhouse with rustic plaster, exposed brick, old shutters, an external stair, and a small private yard. However, the photos show a heavily dated renovation project rather than a usable home, with no interior evidence and visible deterioration; its character is appealing mainly to someone seeking a restoration challenge.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €31,000
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 required; the property is explicitly sold as needing renovation.
- Interiors are not shown, so livability, utilities, kitchen, and bathroom condition cannot be verified.
- Visible exterior deterioration, rough outbuildings, overgrown yard, and a potentially aging roof suggest substantial works.
- It is in a built-up residential setting with no scenic view.
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 34/100The area lies on the northern edge of the upper Po plain in the built-up belt between Saronno and the southern Comasco, with the first Prealpine relief farther north rather than inside the immediate surroundings. The Lura valley park system runs through this part of the province, with wooded strips and farmland between towns. Saronno is the nearest larger town and provides rail links, shops and services. Como and the branch of Lake Como are reachable for daily life but are outside the immediate 15 km landscape, so they do not define the setting here.
