Price €495,000 plus an estimated €74,000 renovation (≈€1,538/m2 effective) vs regional median €448/m2 — more than three times the typical local median. The listing does not state condition, year or energy class, so the price is penalized despite many photos and a sought-after Milan-area location.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid single villa with a private garden, big covered terrace, garage, basement and roomy living spaces — a practical family home. The structure and layout look liveable now, but the interiors are stylistically dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to feel like a modern dream home.
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€24,000 – €41,000
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.
- Interior finishes are dated and will need modernization (kitchen/bath updates).
- Suburban setting with neighboring houses — no scenic views.
- Listing tags mention a pool but no pool is visible in the photos.
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 34/100This is the eastern Milan plain, with built-up municipalities, roads, warehouses and cultivated land around the Martesana area. The Naviglio della Martesana runs nearby, and the Adda river corridor is the main natural feature within reach, with the Parco Adda Nord around places such as Trezzo sull’Adda and Vaprio d’Adda. The nearest larger centre is Milan, and the immediate orbit also includes medium-sized service towns such as Gorgonzola, Cernusco sul Naviglio and Melzo with rail or metro links, schools, shops and employment areas. Trezzo sull’Adda is known for the Adda crossing and the Visconti castle remains on the river.
