- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta), which brings legal risks and extra costs. Asking €90,750 for 139 m² (653 €/m²) but estimated renovation ≈€700/m² pushes the effective cost to ≈€188k (~1,353 €/m²), far above the local median €409/m², so it's a high-risk purchase.
More on the house and the area
Solid 1970s terraced house with a small private front garden and balcony and a practical 139 m² layout. Affordable as an auction buy but clearly needs renovation — a realistic functional home, not a picture‑perfect Italian dream property.
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€27,000 – €49,000
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.

- Needs renovation — photos show worn external plaster, peeling paint and likely interior upgrades required.
- Auction purchase adds extra costs (taxes, transfer fees, possible sanatorie) — check the pre-asta report before bidding.
- Suburban peripheral location with no scenic views or historic character.
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 31/100The area sits on the upper Lombard plain in the continuous built-up belt between Milan, Monza, Saronno and Como, with dense urban fabric, roads and rail lines as the dominant setting. The Groane Regional Park lies partly within and around Cesano Maderno, with heathland, pine woods and former sand and clay quarry landscapes. The nearest larger centres are Monza and Milan, which provide the full range of services, rail links and major employment. This part of Brianza is known for furniture and small industry.
