The property is currently registered as a C/2 warehouse, and conversion to a legal dwelling is only described as possible, not approved; it is also explicitly in need of renovation. The stated price differs between €17,000 in the listing data and €19,000 in the description, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The property has genuine rustic appeal, with old stone-and-brick walls, timber roofing, a private garden, and a covered portico. However, the gallery shows an unfinished agricultural/storage shell rather than a usable home, so it is a renovation project with character rather than a dream house ready to live in.
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€31,000 – €46,000
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 currently a raw storage/rustico space, not a move-in-ready home.
- A change of use from C/2 warehouse to residential category A is only described as possible and must be verified.
- No finished kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, or visible residential utilities are shown.
- The old timber structures and parts of the roof/interior require careful technical inspection and substantial renovation.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Brianza-Comasco lake-and-hill belt, with the Prealps rising to the north. Lake Pusiano lies within the area, and Lake Alserio is also nearby. The Lambro basin shapes the local low hills, woods and settled valleys. The area falls inside the Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, and the lakes and wetlands around Alserio and Pusiano are part of the protected system of the northern Brianza lakes. Como is the nearest city of size, with rail services, a walled historic centre and the south-western branch of Lake Como beyond the 15 km radius. The area is known for its small lakes, wooded moraine hills and heavily settled Brianza landscape.
