The house is offered at €169,000 (€2,770/m²) but is described as “completely to be restored”; estimated full restoration ≈ €1,100/m² → +€67,100, so effective price ≈ €236,100 or ≈ €3,872/m². That is far above the regional cheap-stock median of €463/m² despite proximity to Milan, so this reads as overpriced for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
Photos show an ordinary town house with heavy deterioration — peeling ceilings, temporary supports and damp in the basement. Not move-in ready: this is a renovation/structural project rather than a usable, characterful dream home.
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€24,000 – €36,000
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.
- Widespread interior damage with peeling plaster, visible mold and signs of water ingress.
- Temporary jacks/props inside indicate structural/ceiling instability requiring professional repair.
- Basement/tavern areas show heavy damp and mold — likely need waterproofing and remediation.
- No attractive views, garden or historic features shown; full rebuild-level renovation expected.
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 38/100No mountains within c.15 km: the site sits on the flat Po Valley plain. No natural lake or sea in the local area; the local water network is the Milanese system of canals and irrigation channels (the Navigli and smaller ditches). The Parco Agricolo Sud Milano (regional agricultural park) lies to the south/southeast within the 15 km radius and preserves farmland and rural cascine. The cluster is contiguous with the built-up area of Milan and neighbouring communes (Corsico, Trezzano sul Naviglio, Assago, Rozzano). Milan city centre and its services (major railway stations, museums, universities, hospitals) are within the urban area; Milan contains the UNESCO-listed church of Santa Maria delle Grazie (The Last Supper). The Mediolanum Forum indoor arena at Assago is within the local area. Major transport corridors and ring roads of the Milan metropolitan area cross this territory.
