What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €86,000 (€717/m²), this mixed commercial-and-residential property is already about 77% above the local €406/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified works raises the effective cost to about €917/m². The listing does not state the condition, energy class, or renovation needs, so the price is difficult to justify without further inspection.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial townhouse with appealing old shutters and a traditional Lombardy streetscape, but the facade is weathered and the setting is entirely urban. The upper-floor home appears to be a real usable residence by the facts, yet the ground-floor shop and lack of interior photos make it feel more like a practical mixed-use investment than a dream Italian home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €13,000
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 listing combines a ground-floor shop with the upper-floor apartment, so it is not a straightforward residential home.
- The exterior appears dated and weathered; renovation or cosmetic work may be needed.
- No interior photos are provided, so the actual livability, finishes, kitchen, and bathrooms cannot be verified.
- Urban street setting with visible parking and commercial activity offers little privacy or outdoor space.
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 50/100The area is in the Brianza belt of low hills between Como and Monza, with dense settlement, small woods and cultivated land. Lake Alserio lies within reach to the north, and the southern branch of Lake Como begins around Como. The nearest substantial town is Como, which has a walled historic centre, rail links and services, and Monza and Milan are part of the wider daily orbit. This part of Brianza is known for furniture and small-industry districts rather than for a single protected landscape or monument cluster inside the immediate area.
