In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €81,821 plus an estimated €27,800 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €789/m²—roughly 80% above the local €439/m² benchmark. Garage, cellar, heating and immediate habitability help, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide energy information.
More on the house and the area
A bright, spacious modern home with attractive finishes, a contemporary open-plan living area, garage and cellar. It is described as habitable, but the unfinished bathroom reduces immediate move-in readiness; the main appeal is the unusually large 139 sqm size at a low price rather than a spectacular setting or historic Italian character.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- One bathroom appears unfinished and lacks installed fixtures.
- The building is a modern multi-unit development with little historic character or private outdoor space shown.
- The gallery does not clearly establish the full bathroom count or whether all pictured interiors belong to the property.
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 42/100This is in the built-up area of Forlì, on the Romagna plain between the Montone and Ronco river system, with mainly flat agricultural land around the city and the first Apennine foothills farther southwest. Ravenna is the nearest larger centre in daily orbit on the plain, and the Adriatic coast is not far for practical use, but neither is inside the immediate landscape in a way that changes the setting. Forlì itself has the services and monuments of a provincial city, but under the urban cap this is a city setting rather than a distinctive landscape.
