This is a judicial auction lot (auction) offered at €25,162 for 441 m2 but listed as needing complete renovation; estimate €700/m2 → total renovation ≈ €308,700 and effective price ≈ €333,862 (≈€757/m2). The auction status and large renovation burden make this legally and financially risky despite the low starting price.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, independent early‑1900s palazzo in a historic town centre with a private courtyard and attractive exposed wooden roof structure — plenty of character and usable volume. The building is solid and already divided into three apartments plus a large attic, but it is in an unfinished/abandoned state and requires a full renovation and paperwork to be made fully habitable. Very strong value for someone ready to take on a comprehensive refurbishment.
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€87,000 – €155,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Complete renovation and finishing required — property is at 'stato di cantiere' with works started but not finished
- Interior photos show heavy clutter/storage — major clearing and repairs needed (likely no functioning kitchens/bathrooms)
- Attic is declared non‑habitable and the building will need technical/legal regularisation before full use
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 51/100This is the Brianza belt north of Milan, with a built-up mix of towns, villas, local industry and remaining parkland. The Lambro river runs through the area, and the Valle del Lambro Regional Park covers Carate Brianza and neighbouring communes. Monza is the nearest larger town, with the royal park and the Villa Reale. Lake Como and the first Prealps are farther north and matter more for outings than for the immediate landscape. Brianza is known for furniture-making and small manufacturing.
