Asking €105k for ~200 m² (≈€525/m²) but the ad states the property “necessita di una riqualificazione completa”; estimating €1,100/m² for full restoration raises the effective cost to ≈€1,625/m². That effective price is far above the local typical ≈€375/m², so this is not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid 200+m² building with some original character (herringbone-style floors and a small fireplace) but the interior shows heavy moisture damage and tired finishes. Not move-in ready — this is a renovation project that could become a charming family home once fully refurbished.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Clear water stains and damp on ceilings and walls; signs of mould/longstanding moisture.
- Property needs complete requalification — full electrical, plumbing and bathroom replacements likely required.
- Floors, plaster and finishes are old and damaged; a structural/roof inspection is recommended.
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 56/100The cluster sits in the lower Adda area, with the Adda river and its wooded banks within reach. This is the transition zone between the Bergamo plain and the first Brianza hills, with a mixed landscape of river corridor, cultivated land and small historic villages. The nearest larger centres are Bergamo and the Merate–Vimercate–Monza urban belt, which provide full services and employment but also make the area partly suburban in character. Solza is known locally for the Visconti-related history of the lower Adda and for the river landscape around Trezzo, Calusco and Paderno.
