This is offered in a judicial auction (high legal and practical risk for foreign buyers). Listed at €45,000 (≈€608/m2) versus typical nearby stock around €419/m2, but auction status makes it unsuitable for a normal sale process.
More on the house and the area
Cheap terraced house in Lombardy with three levels and a small private garden, but the exterior looks neglected rather than charming. Listed as habitable, yet expect cosmetic to medium repairs (façade, windows, possibly roof/interiors); not a scenic or characterful dream home, more a budget starter or renovation project obtained via auction.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Exterior shows significant plaster damage and cracks — likely needs façade/repair work.
- Property is an auction listing — purchase involves legal/timing complexity and possible additional costs.
- Very few photos and interior condition is unclear; utilities/bathroom situation should be verified.
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 48/100The area sits in the Brianza-Comasco belt of settled low hills and plain between Como and Saronno. The Lura river valley runs through this part of the province, with the Parco Locale di Interesse Sovracomunale della Valle del Lura around Cadorago and nearby woodland such as the Pineta di Appiano Gentile e Tradate Regional Park within the local area. Como is the nearest city of size, with the walled historic centre, lakefront services and rail connections. Lake Como is farther north and outside the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the province is known more for residential and commuter settlements, woods and mixed farmland than for a singular landmark landscape.
