Estimated total cost ≈ €187k (€75k price + €700/m² × 160 m² = €112k), i.e. about €1,169/m², versus Lombardy median ~€409/m². The listing states a full renovation including complete roof and slab replacement, so substantial rebuild costs drive the high effective price.
More on the house and the area
Charming old courtyard and exposed timber structure give some historic character, but the unit is essentially a raw shell requiring a full rebuild (roof, floors, services). Good central footprint and potential, yet not move-in ready — a renovation project rather than an immediately livable dream home.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Complete renovation needed — listing states roof and floor (soletta) must be rebuilt.
- No visible interior finishes, bathrooms or kitchen; currently a shell.
- Upper level is open/exposed with holes in the roof — structural and waterproofing work likely required.
- Townhouse in a shared corte — access/permissions and condominium-like rules may apply.
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 38/100This is the upper Po plain between the Groane and the Brianza-Comasco urban belt. The Parco delle Groane lies partly within the Turate area and protects heath, pine woods and former sand and clay workings on flat ground. The nearest larger towns are Saronno and Como; Saronno provides rail links and services, while Como is the nearest provincial city with the lakefront and historic centre farther north. The area is known more for its dense small-town fabric, industry and commuter connections toward Milan than for a distinctive rural or scenic landscape.
